Leopard up and Close pattern

With pride I present you Leopard up and close

Leopard is a pattern for overlay mosaic crochet and interlocking filet crochet (for advanced interlockers only). Both patterns come fully written and with charts. I added for overlay mosaic crochet a large printable X chart at the end of the pdf.
Because of the nature of the design, Leopard needs high contrasting colours to make him pop.

Yarn needed (keep in mind that tension, hook size and yarn choice is of influence)

Interlocking:
Based on hook 3 mm, US D (lap throw).

Light background colour B, total 1600 meters, 1750 yards

You will notice, this pattern does not interlock (connect) both colours in the
beginning. This will create pockets and your work might look loose on the front.
To avoid this, you need to tether (anchor) your pockets by simply
connecting the front and back mesh with a stitch (tethering).
This is why this pattern is for advanced interlockers only.
