Gentle Soul

Description

⚠️ Large Scale Mosaic Crochet Design — Multiple Sizes Included

This pattern includes three size options designed for different project scales.

The original 383 × 383 stitch version creates a very large project intended for throws and large bedspreads and is NOT designed for baby blankets.

The cropped 315 × 315 stitch version offers a more compact option for medium-to-large blankets, while the reduced 199 × 199 stitch version can be used for smaller projects such as lap throws or baby blankets.

Please review the sizes carefully and choose the version that best fits your project.

Gentle Soul is a richly detailed overlay mosaic crochet pattern featuring an adorable Morkie puppy with a sweet, expressive face and wonderfully gentle character.

This design captures the warmth, trust, and quiet companionship of a beloved little dog. The Morkie’s curious eyes, soft fluffy ears, tiny paws, and calm expression create a tender image filled with personality and charm.

Delicate fur textures, subtle background details, and strong two-color contrast give the design depth while keeping the puppy clearly recognizable as the central focus of the composition.

The peaceful pose and expressive face give Gentle Soul its distinctive character, transforming the finished blanket into more than a decorative piece — it becomes a warm portrait of affection, loyalty, and the special bond we share with our four-legged companions.

Gentle Soul is available in three sizes, allowing you to choose between an ambitious large-scale statement blanket, a more compact cropped version, or a smaller project suitable for lap throws and baby blankets.

Approximate Yarn Requirements

The estimates below are approximate. Actual yarn usage and finished size may vary depending on your yarn choice, hook size, crochet tension, and personal working style.

The calculations include approximately 10% extra yarn as a safety margin. Yarn for an envelope border worked in the dark color is also included. All estimates are based on 100 g skeins.

For the most accurate yarn and finished-size calculations, it is recommended to make a personal gauge swatch and follow the step-by-step method described in the Tips & Yarn Estimation document included with the pattern.
