Mosaic knitting is a quick-to-learn technique that will enable you
to make beautiful, colourful knitted projects in no time. This
collection of techniques and knitting patterns for mosaic knitted
homewares and accessories, includes everything you need to get
started with this exciting technique. Unlike other knitting
colourwork techniques, mosaic knitting is beginner-friendly - if
you can knit, purl and slip a stitch you can make these projects.
The patterns in this collection avoid any complicated shaping and
are knitted flat to keep them as accessible and beginner friendly
as possible. Mosaic knitting patterns are essentially knitting
stripes and slipping stitches in a pattern to creating striking
geometric motifs. With mosaic knitting you only work one colour per
row, so you don't have to worry about carrying floats of yarn like
you do with stranded colourwork techniques. Readers are led through
the basics with step-by-step instructions and diagrams so that they
can master the techniques before trying out their skills on 15
different projects. All of the patterns are accompanied with charts
and there are instructions for how to follow the mosaic knitting
charts, as well as how to read the written patterns, how to work in
stockinette (stocking) stitch and how to carry yarn up the side of
your work. There are step-by-step photographs showing how to work
the stitches, as well as advice about choosing and changing
colours. Each of the projects has an ability rating so you can
build your skills on the easiest patterns before moving on to more
challenging, but still accessible, projects. This collection
includes 15 projects with stunning geometric designs including
wraps, shawls and cowls as well as blankets, throws and pillow
covers. For each of the projects author, Ashleigh Wempe, has
designed an alternative colourway so you can see an example of how
different colour combinations work for each of the designs. Mosaic
knitting, is a technique that creates beautiful colourwork but is
less complicated than other knitting colourwork techniques, it also
creates a softer fabric than stranded knitting and the finished
knitted fabric maintains its stretchiness making it soft and
flexible.
