Learn Mosaic Knitting
Learn mosaic knitting! If you love the look of stranded knitting projects, but you're looking for something a little simpler, you'll love mosaic knitting. This class is sponsored by our friends at I Like Knitting. Learn more about our digital magazine below!
The mosaic knitting technique uses slipped stitches to create lovely colorwork designs while only ever knitting with one color at a time. In this class, you'll learn the rules for mosaic knitting and try out one of the more popular stitch patterns. By the end, you'll be able to follow any mosaic knitting design in stockinette or garter stitch.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- 2 colors of yarn of the same yarn weight. Can use DK weight 3, worsted weight 4, or bulky weight 5.
- Pair of knitting needles, straight or short circular, recommended for the yarn weight you've chosen: either 3-5 (3.75-4.5mm) for DK, 7-9 (4.5-5.5mm) for worsted, or 9-11 (5.5-8mm) for bulky.
- Scissors.
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
