Mosaic Knitting Scarf Class
Mosaic knitting is one of those techniques that seems to go unnoticed most
of the time. It is a slip stitch technique that uses two colors (usually
both held at one side) but only one yarn is handled at a time. This is
similar to Fair Isle knitting but a little
simpler. Mosaic knitting can produce many beautiful patterns. Fundamentals
of mosaic chart reading will be covered. Give it a try with our double knit
slip stitch scarf. Handouts and instructions provided by the instructor.
