Quirky Birds Blanket

Say hello to a flock of birds with a lot of personality. The Quirky Birds Blanket is a baby blanket made using overlay mosaic crochet, built around a single bird motif that gets a different quirky makeover each time it appears — think a crown here, a pair of glasses there, and yes, one very confident bird in a pair of Y-fronts. Same basic bird, endless personality, and plenty of reasons to keep going just to see what the next one's wearing.

New to overlay mosaic? This is a fun and genuinely satisfying introduction — the technique if far easier that it looks. Video tutorial links are included with the pattern for extra support along the way. Already a mosaic regular? You're in for plenty of laughs as each bird's personality is revealed.
