Barnyard Buddies | Cow and Chicken Overlay Mosaic Crochet Blanket PDF Pattern

*IMPORTANT* This listing is an instant crochet pattern download in pdf format, not the finished product. Refunds are not available on digital items.

This blanket pattern was inspired by dear friends who raise cows and chickens—capturing a slice of their peaceful farm life in yarn and texture. 

The pattern is written in US English terms and assumes knowledge of the basic crochet stitches (slip stitch, chain, single crochet, double crochet). The pattern includes beginner friendly instructions on how to do the overlay mosaic technique as well as the envelope border. The pattern itself is provided in both written and chart format.
