12. Celestial Moon Phase Mosaic Blanket
What This Idea Means
An enchanting astronomical design depicting waxing and waning moon phases woven into a deep midnight blue background using advanced tapestry crochet.
How to Make It
Use a fine worsted-weight yarn in dark navy blue for the background and bright silver-gray for the celestial moon phases. Work using the tapestry crochet method, carrying the unused yarn color inside your stitches across rows to chart out clear, graphic crescent and full moons.
Tips and Variations
- Use bobbins for color sections to prevent your yarn strands from getting hopelessly tangled.
- Keep your carried yarn loose so the blanket does not pucker or curve inward.
- Add a simple ribbed border in solid navy blue to frame the celestial charts.
