- links to my video tutorials for both techniques and envelope border

For the turtles you need:
Overlay mosaic crochet
Based on hook 4mm, US G-6
Pattern colour A dark (Stylecraft Special DK, TEAL 7 skeins) 2100 meters, 2200 yards without border
Light background colour B (Stylecraft Special DK PARCHMENT 7 skeins, a little left over), total 2000 meters, 2200 yards without border
Keep in mind when you change your hook size or yarn thickness the blanket needs more or less yarn
Size 210 by 150 cm, 84 by 60 inches, variations happens due to yarn thickness, tension and hook size
313 stitches by 231 rows
Add 900 meters, 990yards (3 skeins) per colour for the double envelope border
Note: I am a tight crocheter, for the total blanket including double border, please add 2 skeins of 300m, 330y each per colour to be sure you have enough yarn.
Interlocking filet crochet
Based on hook 3 mm, US D
Pattern colour A dark (Scheepjes Olifant Dark Green or any other compatible yarn) 1600 meters, 1750 yards
Light background colour B (Scheepjes Our Tribe or any other compatible yarn), total 2000 meters, 2200 yards
Keep in mind when you change your hook size or yarn thickness the blanket needs more or less yarn
Size 125 by 95 cm, 59 by 50 inches, variations happens due to yarn thickness, tension and hook size
155 by 115 windows
Tension is key!
My tester and me both tested this version with the same yarn for overlay mosaic crochet (Stylecraft Special DK). Despite my tester used hook size 3.25mm, US D she used 300 m, 330y more then me. She even used only a single border while I made the double border.
In total my tester Betsy Sickler used 11 skeins SSDK per colour, front border only, hook 3,25mm, US D, size 201 by 152 cm, 79 by 60 inch (link to her ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/projects/Dbjbcjd/sea-turtles
