Mosaic Mantle

Call it WAY more than just a shawl; I’m proudly naming it a mantle. This stylish, shortish, swingy cape or cloak is designed to be worn over your winter coat or jacket, adding a fabulous touch that jazzes up any outerwear ensemble! And remember, there are no rules against wearing it indoors, either—just imagine how cozy it would feel draped over a comfy turtleneck for those chilly evenings. This stunning garment is crafted with Kauni’s spectacular Effekt yarn in 8/2 fingering weight. Featuring a dramatically long color fade, the shifts in hue are so subtle that they create a fabric that truly beguiles the eye. The clever use of slipped stitches gives the work a mosaic-like appearance, making each piece unique and visually striking. The mantle is intricately knit in 5 pieces from the top down, allowing knitters to enjoy the creative process. The pattern employs strategic increases at the edges, enabling the rows of colorful 'tiles' to offset each other beautifully, resulting in a captivating final product. Whether you're an experienced knitter looking to take on a new challenge or a beginner eager to learn, this mantle pattern is the perfect project for adding a touch of elegance and warmth to your wardrobe. Dive into this knitting adventure and unleash your creativity with this delightful mantle pattern!
