Zigzagging Path

The shortest path between two points may be a straight line, but when it comes to knitting, a little creativity makes all the difference! Discover the joy of knitting with our delightful zigzagging mosaics pattern, interspersed with simple garter stitch, which beautifully draws the eye from one vibrant color to the next. This easy mosaic knit design is perfect for knitters of all skill levels who are looking to add an element of fun and creativity to their projects.

The original sample was expertly crafted using the Miss Babs Yowza Mini Festive Set, incorporating 100 yards each of 12 different colors. However, this versatile pattern can easily be adapted to accommodate any number of colors—making it a fantastic choice for knitters with varied stashes! You can use 6 colors twice each for a balanced effect, or alternate a main color with 6 contrasting shades. Pair a striking variegated yarn with solid colors to create stunning visual interest. The options are truly limitless, as long as you ensure there’s enough contrast between each color and its neighbor.
