Inspired by lush green ivy leaves and wandering vines, this mosaic crochet leaf and vines motif adds a bright pop of greenery to blankets and other projects. Repeat this section to your desired size. Or make the Mosaic Ivy Vines section as part of a year-long blanket crochet along (CAL) inspired by a cozy English garden.

Along with crochet, plants are another passion of mine and I’ve incorporated botanical motifs in several of my patterns! If you love this Mosaic Ivy Vines crochet pattern, you may also like the Mosaic Flower Garden Blanket, Monstera Leaf C2C Afghan, or the Plants with Yarn C2C Afghan.

A chart for each section will be provided for free on the designer’s site. However, if you would like to work at a faster pace, or prefer written instructions over graphs, you can also grab the eBook. This beautifully-formatted PDF includes graphs and written instructions for every section in the blanket, plus links to helpful video tutorials for selected sections. It’s all organized in one convenient place.

To find the free mosaic crochet charts, use the button above to navigate to the eBook page. Scroll down to the “Welcome” section, where you will find a link that reads “FREE pattern graphs.” This will take you to the page where a new chart will be listed the first day of each month.
