Description
⚠️ Large-Scale Mosaic Crochet Design
This pattern creates a very large project.
It is designed for large throws, blankets, and decorative bedspreads, including king-size projects depending on your yarn and gauge. It is NOT intended for baby blankets.
Even the smaller version is a substantial project. If you are looking for a small or fast project, this pattern may not be the best choice.

Whispering Tides is a detailed overlay mosaic crochet pattern featuring rolling ocean waves, seashells scattered across the sand, and a cluster of daisies beside graceful coastal grasses.
Inspired by quiet moments by the sea, this design brings together the movement of water, the curved shapes of shells, and the delicate lines of flower petals. Sunlight over the horizon and textured shoreline details create a peaceful coastal scene with a rich, artistic finish.
This pattern includes two size options for different project scales.

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, plus an additional 12% allowance applied to the dark color for an envelope border and edge stitches. All skein quantities are based on 100 g skeins and rounded up separately for each color.
For the most accurate yarn and finished-size calculations, make a personal gauge swatch and follow the step-by-step method described in the Tips & Yarn Estimation document included with the pattern.
