Flowers and birds are timeless crochet themes: elegant, cheerful and easy to place in any room. In overlay mosaic crochet, petals, feathers and wings become crisp graphic patterns that look almost like printed fabric. Here are our floral and bird blanket patterns, with details from each listing and color ideas.
Quick Answer
For a dramatic statement, choose the Peacock pattern. For a fun, tropical look, choose the Flamingo pattern. For a Nordic floral style, choose the Scandinavian Hummingbird pattern. All are digital PDF patterns in two-color overlay mosaic.
