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

Wrong Side of Interlocking Crochet
With interlocking crochet, each stitch creates the opposite stitch on the other side.
I draw the image we see on the front, but when you’re finished crocheting you will have an almost-reversible blanket. On the back, your letter “T” will be flipped and instead of getting straight lines you will see dashes.
Overlay mosaic crochet produces stripes on the wrong side, with a slight illusion of what the front looks like.

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/.
