All The Waves
This ocean-themed baby blanket depicting waves can be found in my “More in the Ocean” eBook of interlocking and mosaic crochet patterns.
Interlocking & Mosaic
As with all my designs, you’ll receive the fully written pattern and charts for both interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.
Size
With the interlocking crochet technique this blanket begins with 60 windows in the foundation row. The mosaic crochet option is 121 stitches wide.
If you meet gauge, each square will be about 30″ / 76cm.

Original Blog Entry
This pattern, like all the patterns in the “More in the Ocean” eBook, has a chart size of 121 x 121.
This works up to 30″ square when you meet gauge so I call it a baby blanket but you can also think of it as an extra-large panel in a blanket. If you join 4 or 6 of these together you will get a full-size blanket.
Angela Kermack used her dark yarn for the Main Color (MC) and then used a self-striping blue/cream for the Accent Color (AC) in this overlay mosaic crochet sample of All The Waves!
More Waves
If you like these waves you you may be interested in different sizes!
I use the smallest Wave 10 square in my video tutorial on how to Read Mosaic Crochet Chart Without X’s. This is a very handy skill to have but if you are used to having X’s on the chart. Have no fear, my patterns are all being updated to include a chart with X’s now. It is taking me awhile because I have so many patterns, but I am nearly finished getting them all updated!
Update: all my designs have been updated and all designs now come with x-marked charts for the mosaic crochet option.
Wave 10
I use a very small section of wave in my tutorial on YouTube: Wave 10, Locked Filet Mesh Crochet-A-Long Tutorial. You can crochet the small 5″ square with me using the interlocking crochet method (also called Locked Filet Mesh or LFM).
You can also download the PDF of the tiny wave square for FREE on Ravelry! Wave 10 on Ravelry
Waves Scarf
I used these waves in a scarf which was part of my 2020 Father’s Day CAL: Waves Scarf on Ravelry

Waves Shawl
I made these waves available as a shawl as well; you can begin with the long edge or short end to get a different effect with your self-striping yarn! Waves Shawl on Ravelry

Into the Ocean
My “Into The Ocean” blanket pattern uses these waves as a border around some swirling waves.
Crocheted by Christine Schneider.
So, I guess it’s fair to say I like water-themed patterns but, I’ve also created a round-up of ocean-themed patterns!
Important Pattern Details for “All the Waves”
Like all my designs, you’ll receive one file for the interlocking crochet technique and one file for the overlay mosaic crochet technique for this pattern.
On my list: I will be updating this pattern (and many others) to have a second mosaic crochet option where I’ll adjust the charts to be solid. Read more about the different techniques at https://ashleeslint.com/tutorials/interlocking-and-mosaic-crochet/.

All The Waves was originally published in October 2021. I used the same chart for both the interlocking crochet option and the overlay mosaic crochet option. With this colorwork option you can see the interlocking mesh dots even when you use the overlay mosaic crochet technqiue.
