Description ~ Mosaic Knitting

Mosaic knitting is a form of slipped-stitch knitting – which creates complicated two-color designs while only using one color per row. Not all slipped-stitch knitting is mosaic knitting, however - it follows certain rules. We’ll learn the tricks and rules to mosaic knitting and how to read mosaic knitting charts while knitting a washcloth/trivet sampler.

Materials Needed ~ Mosaic Knitting

• Worsted weight yarn in two highly-contrasting colors (cotton yarn is best if you wish to use your finished project as a dishcloth, wool is best for trivet use). Pick a white or cream for one color and a dark color for your second color for a foolproof combination.
• Working needles in size appropriate to yarn (size 7 or 8 will work for most knitters).
