Beloved P
This toddler-sized blanket features a fancy letter “P” surrounded by a decorative heart design. This pattern is part of my Beloved Alphabet series.
Interlocking & Mosaic
Beloved P 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.

More Letters Please!
I’ve had a few emails and messages asking for more of the Beloved Alphabet letters. I promise I will get the whole alphabet published. I’m sorry it is taking so long. I expected it to take about a year – and that’s honestly a short timeline for 25 new patterns with two techniques and both the right- and left- handed versions of each.
Plus, my family made a sudden move which has greatly relieved a lot of my stress but has taken up some time and energy.
<3 Life is getting back on track and the patterns will come!

Beloved Alphabet, Toddler Blankets
I originally drew Beloved B as a baby blanket. But then, over a year later, when I went to publish more letters of the alphabet I realized the chart size was larger than what I had defined as my baby blanket category.
Thus, 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.
Left-Handed Crochet
Whether you crochet with your right or left hand, you deserve to have a written pattern that enables you to create the image as designed!
I don’t make you read each line backwards, I’ve done the work so you have more time to just 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/.
