Boho style mosaic shawl
Introducing our exquisite top-down knit triangle shawl pattern, designed for knitters of all skill levels. This stunning shawl features increases at both sides and down the center, allowing for a beautifully shaped piece that drapes elegantly. Throughout the knitting process, you’ll increase 4 stitches on every Right-side row, ensuring a gradually expanding design that highlights the intricate patterns created by the slip-stitch technique.
Slip-stitch knitting, also known as mosaic knitting, offers a unique approach to colorwork. With this method, you won't need to float the yarn at the back of your work, which means you won’t have to worry about the tension created by floats. This makes slip-stitch knitting not only visually appealing but also practical and enjoyable for knitters.
