Zellige - PDF knitting pattern

The intricate and vibrant Moroccan tiled designs inspire the Zellige blanket pattern.

The pattern was designed for the Mystery Knit-A-Long 2024, held in the Arella Seaton Design group on Ravelry.

The blanket is worked in one piece in a mosaic garter stitch. 

The size is easily adjustable by making more or fewer repeats. 

The charts are also given in reversed colours for ease of use if you swap light and dark colours in your blanket. 

The sample was made in DK / 8 ply weight natural wool. Different yarn weights and fibres can be used. Using different fibres affects the size of the blanket and the amount of yarn needed.
