It’s never too early to get ready for Christmas, is it? The CHRISTMAS IN JULY pattern is created using overlay mosaic crochet and is worked in the round. You do not need to cut the yarn after each round, but carry it through the corner instead.

The pattern is rather detailed and consists of four different designs. The approximate size of the blanket working with light weight (DK) yarn will be about 1.5 -1.6 m (59-63 in). The size will depend on your tension, the hook size and the yarn weight you use for the project.
For this pattern you need at least two contrasting colors. I was using six.
