No!
Let me be very honest, if you are a beginner, leave this in the to do list once you are absolutely comfortable with crocheting.
If you are able to work some crochet projects with straight ends and you have mustered the back loop crochet, single crochet and double crochet, then sure, give it a go.

It is not difficult, however, it can be very challenging and it does call for a lot of attention. If you make one or two mistakes, the pattern will show as the crochet mosaic pattern is not very forgiving.
How To Read A Crochet Mosaic Chart
The mosaic crochet chart is read from right to left for each row. Rows are worked in alternating colours, as indicated on the left column.
The entire row is worked in the colour stated. Ignore the colours displayed in each box; this shows how the pattern will loo.
you will not change colour throughout a row. A blank box indicates you will work a sc in the blo. A box marked with an X indicates working a drop-down double crochet.
Work a single crochet through both loops for the first and last stitch of a row. When working mosaic crochet in rows, you will cut the yarn at the end of every row.

How to care for a mosaic blanket
Before i explain how to wash a crochet mosaic blanket, read the yarn labels. So will allow washing machines, while others will only call for hand washing. So depending on the yarn you use, washing methods will differ.
Be sure to wash the blanket before use, because trust me, it is dirty from all the moving around of the blanket when you were crocheting and the yarn of course. You do not know what it has been through. I hope you enjoy your new crochet blanket.
It’s helpful for beginners to have Xs on the blocks where they do a fldc, so they can easily navigate the chart 😊
