Autumnus
Autumnus is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern created as an “ode to Autumn” but can be modified to fit any season! Included in the pattern are some ideas for a Spring, Summer, and Winter themed blanket.
An update was added 10/2023 that allows for a symmetrical blanket. This required two minor pattern changes. This update has one size option (200 st x 277st).
The original pattern PDF (with no set pattern repeat) is also available.
This is a beginner level pattern. The PDF pattern is written in U.S. terminology and includes the full written pattern in a row-by-row format, as well as the ticked graphs. For tutorial videos on mosaic crochet, please download the "Guide to Overlay Mosaic Crochet" PDF available for free.
I chose to make mine with a 4 mm hook and worsted weight (4 weight) yarn. The yarn I used is on the lighter side of a 4-weight yarn; I recommend a 5 mm hook with worsted weight yarn typically. The border was made with a 3.5 mm hook.
Yarn specifics: Cascade 220
Chocolate Heather (#2431)
Shire (#2445)
Birch Heather (#9564)
Japanese Maple (#2435)

I used a total of approximately 3,800 yards, excluding the border The border used approximately 600 yards (for a total of 4400 yards). The size is approximately 46” wide by 61” tall excluding the border. Please note that different yarns, different tensions, and different hook sizes will all utilize a different amount of yarn.
