Description ~ Mosaic Knitting with Estonian Braids-Winter Cowl

The easygoing cousin of stranded colorwork, slip-stitch knitting is a fun and easy technique that brings more color into your work without the stranding or trapping of floats like Fair Isle, or the fussiness of intarsia. We'll also add in some 2-color Estonian or Vikkle braids as a nod to our Estonian leg of the adventure! We'll knit up a trip-exclusive pattern, discuss the different types of colorwork, how to read charts, basic color theory, and finishing techniques. You'll be addicted in no time!
