If you’re on the lookout for a delightful and straightforward knitting project, you’ve come to the right place! The stitches in this pattern are designed with ease in mind, employing the popular mosaic stitch method for beautiful colorwork. You'll only be working with a single color at a time for each round, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. This comprehensive pattern is detailed in a row-by-row format, ensuring clarity, and it does not rely on charts, making it accessible to all skill levels.

Bonus Alert! Included with the pattern is a photo tutorial PDF that guides you step-by-step on how to create your own custom pom-poms. If you have trouble locating a premade pom-pom that suits your aesthetic, this guide is invaluable. Once you purchase the pattern through LoveKnitting, feel free to email me and request the PomPom PDF for your convenience.

Feel free to substitute any worsted-weight yarn that achieves a suitable gauge for your project. This flexibility allows you to personalize your creation according to your preferences and available materials.

Measurements: After gentle blocking, you can expect the finished piece to measure approximately 21 cm (8 1/2”) in height, with the main mosaic motif spanning 47 cm (18 1/2”) across, and a comfortable 48 cm (19”) brim.
