My blanket, row by row , I used 2 cakes together for my super colourful blanket, I went completely out of my comfort zone with this one!
YarnArt Flowers Alpaca DK, 250g cakes/940m. My background cake, colour 418, I used 1,782m/474g. Detailed cake, colour 438, I used 1,616m/430g. Total yarn used without border, 3,398m/904g.
My blanket measures, without the border and with a 3.5mm hook, 115cm squared 45inches squared.
For her center out blanket, Christina O’Connor used 840g/2100m if Nako Baby Elite DK in Ebony, 460g/1150m of Aldi So Crafty DK in Sand and Khaki 300g/750m, and 42g/112.5m of Apricot. Total used 4,112m, with a 4mm hook and her beautiful blanket measures 130cm squared.
You can use any yarn for your project, with thinner yarn you’ll use less yarn and your project will be smaller and with thicker yarn you’ll use more yarn and your project will be bigger.
With overlay mosaic crochet all single crochet stitches go into the back loop of the stitch and all double crochet stitches go into the front loop of the stitch 2 rows below which will be of the same colour. You cut the yarn at the end of every row and join new yarn at the start of every row, the ends will either be left to create a 
fringe, or you can create an envelope border, I have a PDF in the files of my Facebook group.
