Wrap yourself up in this super cosy asymmetrical triangular shawl featuring a stunning mosaic stitch section. It will been keep you warm as you knit it!
If you have never tried mosaic knitting before it’s super simple and you will likely become addicted to the beautiful patterns it creates. Essentially it’s just like knitting stripes, you use one colour at a time, and knit one right side and one wrong side row before swapping to the other colour for another two rows. The amazing pattern effect is achieved by slipping some of the stitches. It’s as simple as that!
The wool is from a local farm that raises adorable alpacas and cheeky Jacobs sheep.
