Library Lattice by Elyse Yeager

Crochet blanket constructed of three block designs that together make a larger pattern based on a screen in a painting. The raised texture pattern shows on one side.

Elyse’s patterns are written for both print and screen reader accessibility.  All text is in black, on a white background, Font size is 22 pt Arial, with no italics, Written instructions are provided, charts are for reference only and not required, left-­justified text, 1­inch margins, Multiple columns have been mostly eliminated – the exceptions are small pictures side-­by-side, All pictures have captions, Page numbers are on the bottom left, Headers and footers have no important infor­mation, Abbreviations have been eliminated to the best of my ability, Paragraphs have space between them.

Three types of blocks are sewn together to form a repeating lattice pattern. The pattern is given in three ways: a detailed phototutorial, printable written instructions, and charts. The general technique used is overlay crochet. The background stitches are back-loop-only single crochets. The pattern stitches are longer stitches (dc, tr, dtr) worked into front loops or around posts. Each block starts as a magic loop, and is worked out in a spiral. Blocks are joined by sewing, with some extra care taken to make the pattern lines continuous as they cross from one block to another. The pattern only shows on the right side of the work. The wrong side is an undecorated grid of squares. This pattern is based on the lattice screen on the left side of the painting Kuran okuyan kız by Osman Hamdi Bey. The lattice pattern is made with a repeated circular motif.
