We adore Mosaic knitting for it's simple stitch structure, color play, and project wow factor; a really fun way to take your beginner knitting skills to the next level and create a truly impressive knit accessory! Mosaic knitting is similar to working with a stranded colorwork chart but works with one color at a time, slipping stitches of the color not currently being used; a great transition from basic one-color knitting into the world fo colorwork.

In this workshop you will take your basic cast-on, knit, purl, bind-off techniques to the next level and add-in the M1 increase as well as Sl St or SS (slip stitch). With just these skills you will have what you need to make the oh-so-sweet Pressed Flowers Kerchief by the amazing Amy Christoffers! This sweet little project works with two colors to create a flower edge to a bandana-style kerchief (tiny shawl). During the class you will work through starting the increase side fo the kerchief and meet one week later (after a bit of homework) to work on the middle section and kick-off the decrease side. The final project measures 30” (76cm) long x 9” (23cm) deep at widest point. Once you master the pattern you will see that it can be made longer and wider with more pattern section repeats; the color and size possibilities are endless!

Skills + Materials
This is an beginner+ workshop; students should be able to cast-on, knit, purl, and bind-off comfortably to make the most of the experience! With the exception of the pattern (we will get that for each student and have it printed and ready for ya), supplies are not included in the workshop fee; please plan to come with two contrasting colors of DK weight yarn. You will need 114 yards (50g) per color for 228 yards (100g) total. We will share recommendations for yarn from the shop in the registration confirmation email. You will also need a US6 (4mm) circular (16"-24" length) or straight (12"-14") knitting needles. If you are a tight knitter you may want to size-up to US7 or US8 and if you are a loose knitter you may want to size-down to US6.
