Introducing The Shawl, a beautifully designed knitting pattern that seamlessly combines mosaic knitting techniques with cozy garter stitch stripes. This stunning shawl is perfect for knitters looking to explore the art of mosaic patterns while indulging in the comforting texture of garter stitch. In this unique mosaic knitting method, each row is worked in pairs, with two consecutive rows using the same color. During the first row, follow the pattern instructions as outlined. On the second row, employ the same color again, knitting the same stitches as before, while slipping the same stitches you slipped in the previous row. For the best visual impact, we recommend selecting two yarn colors that provide high contrast. The shawl begins with a cleverly constructed garter tab, setting the stage for the intricate 19-stitch mosaic pattern that is elegantly framed by stitch markers along the center spine. Whether you prefer following the detailed written instructions or utilizing the accompanying chart for the mosaic pattern, you'll find this project rewarding and enjoyable. Finished Measurements: Before blocking, the shawl boasts an impressive wingspan of 58 inches and a depth of 13 inches. After wet blocking, it achieves a stunning wingspan of 76 inches and a depth of 18½ inches, making it a perfect accessory for any outfit or occasion. Embrace your creativity and expand your knitting skills with The Shawl—a stunning addition to your collection of handmade accessories. Whether you're knitting for yourself or a loved one, this pattern is sure to impress! Perfect for intermediate knitters, this shawl pattern allows you to express your style while mastering the beautiful technique of mosaic knitting.
