Beloved K

This toddler-sized blanket features a fancy letter “K” surrounded by a decorative heart design. This is another pattern in my Beloved Alphabet series.

More Details on the "Beloved Alphabet" Series

Interlocking & Mosaic

Beloved K 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 because it uses a chart that was adjusted from the interlocking version. Learn 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.

Beloved K: A Toddler Blanket

The Beloved Alphabet series is categorized as toddler blankets.

The interlocking crochet chart for these Beloved Alphabet blankets is 161 x 161 (which means it starts with 80 windows) and it will be 40″ square when you use worsted weight (4-medium) yarn.

The border lines and mesh dots have been removed from the overlay mosaic crochet versions so they look solid (and not meshy). The mosaic chart is 157 x 157 and finishes to 42″ x 45″ / 106cm x 114cm before adding the optional envelope border.

You always have the option of using a thinner yarn and appropriate hook which will still show the image but result in a smaller blanket!

Wrong Side of Interlocking Crochet

Interlocking crochet doesn’t prouduce an exact replica of the design on the back. The decorative border tends to look a bit ‘wrong’ and the smooth edges of the letter turn jagged on the wrong side.

Left-Handed Crochet

Left-handed crocheters don’t need to worry about doing the pattern backwards – I’ve created the fully written left-handed pattern for both techniques!

Nessa Miller used the darker blue for the MC in her interlocking crochet version of Beloved K. See the right and wrong sides above.
