Beloved S
This toddler-sized blanket features a fancy letter “S” surrounded by a decorative heart design. This is another pattern in my Beloved Alphabet series.
Interlocking & Mosaic
Beloved S comes with the fully written pattern and charts for both of my preferred colorwork techniques (interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet).
The mosaic version is solid. Learn what ‘solid’ means and even more about these techniques at https://ashleeslint.com/tutorials/interlocking-and-mosaic-crochet/.
Right- & Left-Handed
This design comes with the fully written pattern (in both techniques) for left-handed crocheters so they don’t need to read every line backwards to get the letter legible.
See the collection of patterns with a left-handed option on Ravelry.

Toddler Blanket Size
I have categorized the Beloved Alphabet series as toddler blankets.
The interlocking crochet chart for these Beloved Alphabet blankets is 161 x 161 (which means it starts with 80 windows).
The border lines and mesh dots have been removed from the overlay mosaic crochet versions; that chart is 157 x 157 and finishes to 42″ x 45″ / 106cm x 114cm before adding the optional envelope border.
Samples crocheted by Angela Kermack, Ashlee, Chantal Lariviere, Divya Tellakula, Linda Bakker, & Nonna2Dreja.

Important Details for Beloved S
My designs always come with the fully written patterns and charts for two colorwork techniques: interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.

Overlay Mosaic Crochet
The mosaic crochet version of each Beloved Alphabet blanket uses an adjusted chart. This means I’ve removed the interlocking mesh dots and unneccessary border lines. Read more about the differences at https://ashleeslint.com/tutorials/interlocking-and-mosaic-crochet/.

Altona Newcombe crocheted this overlay mosaic crochet sample of Beloved S.
She added some tapestry colorwork to make the letter a different color than the outer decorations. This pattern does not come with tapestry instructions.
