My mosaic crochet journey began two years ago, when
Nya Mosaic Blanket pattern
was released. It has become very popular and pictures of hundreds of Nya’s
popped up in my social media feeds. In various color combinations. Some
creative makers went beyond pattern instructions, and adjusted the chart into
a continuous version. I’ve had a plan to write instructions for “infinity” Nya
for at least a year now. And finally here it is! Thank you very much for your
inspiration and support.
This is a continuous version of Nya baby blanket created by Caroline Hohal (@caroline_crochets). She used one Whirl in shade Jumpin Jelly and a little more than 2 Whirlettes in shade 851 Liquorice.
Anna Nita (@nitkomanka) adapted Nya blanket pattern to make a wrap – this is the same continuous version but with less repeats.
And Laura Jackson (@taemombo) took a challenge and decided to create a big blanket using 4 Whirls (2 in same color). It's called "From Sea to Sea". How amazing is it? Her blanket is approx. 115cm x 140cm (45.3” x 55”).
Laura worked with all four cakes at the same time for one long gradient color change.
Are you inspired to try “infinity” version of Nya mosaic blanket yourself? Please, find instructions below. Enjoy!

Abbreviations (US terms)
st(s) - stitch(es)
sp(s) - space(s)
ch - chain
yo - yarn over
sc (single crochet): insert hook in indicated stitch, yo, draw up a loop, yo and pull through both loops on hook
mdc (mosaic double crochet): yo, insert hook in indicated st, yo, draw up a loop in front of chains of previous rows, *yo, pull through 2 loops* twice
RS - right side
WS - wrong side
[…] - [crochet following directions] as many times as indicated
Pattern Notes
- Nya Infinity Mosaic blanket is worked in rows, back and forth. You can either follow the chart or written instructions.
- Ch1 in the beginning of each row doesn’t count as a st. So first sc of each row is made in first stitch of previous row.
- All mdc are made in sts of same color from 2 rows below – always in front of work.
- Change color on the last yarn over when there are still 2 loops on hook. Don’t cut the yarn but leave it on the side. Yarn is changed after every 2 rows by grabbing up new yarn on the side – you’ll get floats of yarn.
Reading the Chart
- Chart is read from bottom to top. Each row in chart represents two rows of same color. Rows on the RS (1,2,3, etc.) are read from right to left, and rows on WS (1a, 2a, 3a, etc.) are read back across from left to right. The first square of each row shows which color is used for 2 rows (1-1a, 2-2a, 3-3a, etc.)
- Each square of the chart shows 1 stitch or 1 skipped stitch. When squares of different colors appear in the row – they should be skipped. So instead of working them – make a number of ch (always 1 ch more than a number of skipped sts – to prevent your work from pulling) and skip needed sts. So for 1 skipped st you will ch2.
- On next row on RS when you will crochet with different color – you will make mdc in these skipped sts from two rows below. Mdc are always made in front of your work, in front of chains of previous rows, so spaces are always skipped (see pics below).
- Mdc are only worked on RS. On WS you will only make sc and chains, so can easily finish these rows (1a, 2a 3a, etc.) without following the chart. Please, note that sc are only made in sts of the previous row, and chains are always made over chains.

ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope they are easy to follow and that you'll have fun!
DeleteThank you for sharing this amazing pattern!!!!
DeleteERES AMOROSA....Y MUY..MUY GENEROSA...MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SER ASI Y COMPARTIR....UN ABRAZO DESDE CHILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ReplyDelete:-D
DeleteI love the blanket made with Jumping Jelly and Liquorice and I would like to make one for my son's partner when he completes his PhD. Do you think I could double the yarn and use a larger crochet hook to get a large (adult size) blanket?
ReplyDeleteTo make a larger blanket you should just make more repeats. Or use a bigger yarn... first make a gauge swatch with your yarn and 2 repeats and measure its width. that will give you an idea of how many repeats you should make to get desired width. and then you'll just continue before you get desired length. :)
DeleteRegards from Spain! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing! T
ReplyDeleteWill there be a you tube video? ��
ReplyDeleteHello, there is no video for this pattern so far. Maybe in the future...
DeleteYour designs are simply dreamy! Thanks for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim!
DeletePlease, please help! I'm using 2 Whirls and also Whirlettes. Does it matter which is used for color A or B? Thanks for your time and help!
ReplyDeleteI'd use dark solid shade for Yarn B. Just like in the chart.
DeleteHello, thank you for the pattern and all the detail. I have just the one question that I am hoping other makers maybe able to help me with. I am up to Row 15 and my work keeps corkscrewing/ twisting. Would anybody have any ideas on how to over come this. I am hoping this will flatten itself out as I proceed as I love the little bit I have.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, from your description it's not very clear where the problem is. Could you please send me a progress picture maybe?
DeleteIt's been almost 2 years so I'm guessing you don't need help with this anymore but for those who do run into this issue, I had the same problem. It's the tension. Loosen your tension a little so your stitches aren't too tight. When I crochet for amigurumi I make my tension very tight to stiffen the project and make it hold its shape. I find you should do the opposite when making afghans and blankets. No one likes a stiff blanket with curly edges :)
DeleteThank you so kuch lillabjorn for the pattern
Hi I'm having trouble with row 3 and row 3a can you please help.
ReplyDeleteFor the larger blanket it states to use 'For large blanket: 2 x 2 Whirls (4 in total). Does that mean 2 Whirls and 2 Whirlettes or 2 different whirls x2? If its the latter do you not use whirlettes for the contrasting colours or just the two different coloured whirls? Sorry of this comes across a bit confusing.
ReplyDeleteHej!
ReplyDeleteJag får inte till rad 3a. Ska kedjorna löpa över varandra? Eller lite omlott? I så fall blir det FM i kedjan på varv 3, eller?
Älskar mönstret, så kul att virka nått som inte e blommor eller rutor 😃🤗
I don't understand the question :) Aren't pictures helpful?
DeleteBeautiful! I want just to make a sample in order to learn before i venture something arger.
ReplyDeleteI understand the multiple of 12 plus 3... but the math does not agree with this. 76 divided by 12 is 6 with the remaining 4. It should be 3... Also you placed in parenthesis ch4.Please explain. Thank you. Zana
You should make an extra chain to begin. That's ch4 :) If you begin with dc 9and not sc), then you should add ch5.
Deletehello, it's always a pleasure to make one of your designs.I love the colour combination of Laura and will make this into a baby blanket. I read I need 13 repeats. Would you have any idea if I use up both whirls what the size of the blanket would be? Probably not such an easy questions, but you never know you know the answer :-) Stay Safe !
ReplyDeleteI dont understand this part

Thanks for sharing this beautiful pattern :)
Without seeing your progress picture I can't tell you where the problem is. Written instructions should work.
DeleteHi, thanks for this pattern. One question: do I need the sheepjes whirl in DK or 4 ply to make the blanket?
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you for your beautiful pattern which has been on my wish list for a very long time. In picking colors, I have two ombre whirls...Jade JimJam and Shrinking Violet, I think I will use the violet as the dark (yarn B) thoughts on this combination?
ReplyDeletebello trabajo, gracias por compartir
ReplyDeleteI wish you could make a video I would pay for it as I am hopeless following patters I actually need to see being done. You are are so good. I love this
ReplyDeletehi,

Hi, I've been using your blog for ideas and patterns for a while, so for support I tried to buy the pattern for this blanket. However, PayPal isn't an option where I live and Etsy says it's "sold-out". Thank you once again, for all the great ideas you've given me. tack så mycket
ReplyDeleteHello, Amazing blanket. What colour nr. Did you yoused for your blanket.
ReplyDeleteIf i want to make the large blanket what do i need?
I just bought the pattern and am now impatiently waiting for the Whirlette to come back into stock... So I wanted to start by doing the gauge, but not sure what stitch? Just sc or do I have to do the pattern for the gauge?
ReplyDeleteYou should make a swatch with mosaic pattern for the gauge.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this pretty mosaic pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. I'm a bit confused for Row 3a if you could help please? The instructions say 2sc however this means I am sc into the 2ch from Row 3. Please could you advise? Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi! Just bought your pattern and am eager to get startet!
ReplyDeleteHow do i get that long gradient colochange that Laura made? You wrote that she worked with all 4 cakes at the same time...
I have 4 cakes, with 2 and 2 that are the same colors. Thanks!
Hello! You make 2 rows with Yarn A (first cake), then 2 rows with Yarn B (first cake), then 2 rows with Yarn A again (second cake) and then 2 rows with Yarn B (second cake). And then repeat this all over again. So you have one strand. But all 4 cakes in work.
Deleteso do it like this:
Row 1 (RS): With Yarn A (first cake).
Row 2 (WS): With same yarn A. Change to first cake of Yarn B in last st, don’t cut Yarn A, turn.
Row 3: With B (first cake).
Row 4: Same B, change to second cake of Yarn A in last st.
Row 5: With A (second cake).
Row 6: Same Yarn A, change to B second cake in last st.
Row 7: With B (second cake)
Row 8: Same B, change to first cake of Yarn A in last st.
And repeat all over again.
I'm going to try it another way. A1 and B1 starting from the darker outside color and working towards the center of the cake. Then I get to the end of A and B1, I'll attach to the center of A2 and B2.
Deletedid anyone chain one in between instead of 2
ReplyDeleteHello , I'm very new to mosaic crochet, and I'm struggling already with this pattern. I'm definitely a visual learner. I was wondering if the was a video available? I kno5 someone else asked this. But it's been some time and I was hoping one might have been made now.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the whirls are DK or 4ply? 4ply seems very fine for a blanket.
ReplyDeleteNice post thank you Jamie
ReplyDeletethank you for this blog:)
ReplyDeleteI’ve made a swatch and now going to make a blanket. Great pattern to follow 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteI am brand new to mosaic crochet. In this pattern are all of the sc supposed to be worked in back loops?
ReplyDeleteThis type of crochet is called "inset", and all stitches are worked through both loops.
DeleteThis pattern is beautiful but looks extremely labor intensive. Handicraft is really underrated. The amount of work needed to make such a wonderful product is really impressive.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, crochet takes lots of time :)
DeleteHi, I am still working on this blanket and both sides are untidy, so I think to tidy it up, I will need a border. I can't find one the pattern, I'm not too sure how to do it. Has anyone added a border to the sides, if so, I would appreciate some advice on how to. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi, did you know that your blood is completely unusable because there’s an ad every second and each time an ad pops up it blanks out the screen completely? It’s a pity because it looks like nice content. It’s just ruined with all the ads. They literally clear the screen each second. I can’t even get screenshots.
ReplyDeleteHi, obviously, there are some ads on this blog, as content is free and ads help the designer to drive some income from the free patterns. However, ads must not clear up the entire screen... They have been placed manually, and should be just a few for a blog-page. Not sure why you cannot see the content... Can it be that some extra ads appear on your screen?..
