Tessellation Blanket in Stylecraft Special DK – Crochet Pattern 9683

This Tessellation Blanket is a stunning large-format crochet project designed by Helen Boreham and published by Stylecraft as pattern number 9683. The finished blanket measures approximately 153cm wide by 183cm long (60¼in x 72in), making it a generous, full-size throw ideal for sofas, beds, or as a bold decorative statement piece. The design is built from 120 individual square motifs that are joined together as the work progresses, creating a seamless tessellating effect that gives the blanket its name.

Design Overview and Construction Method

The blanket is constructed using a join-as-you-go technique, which means each new motif is attached to its neighbours during the final round of crocheting rather than being sewn together afterwards. This approach keeps finishing work to a minimum and ensures a neat, consistent join throughout. The pattern includes a colouring chart to help crafters plan their colour placement before picking up the hook, and detailed colour plans showing which colours to work together in each motif.

Work begins with the square in the top right-hand corner of the blanket and progresses downward in rows, making the joining process straightforward and logical. Each motif is worked in the round, starting from a magic ring, and is completed over multiple rounds before being joined on Round 7.
