Mosaic Knit Blanket

Discover the Art of MOSAIC KNITTING – a unique and creative knitting technique that stands apart from traditional Fair Isle or Stranded work. Mosaic knitting relies exclusively on the technique of slipping stitches, allowing you to work with just ONE color of yarn at a time! This method is not only approachable for knitters of all skill levels but also results in stunning visual effects.

In mosaic knitting, each color is used for two rows: a forward pass, followed by a return row. Both rows utilize the same stitches, but the magic happens during the return pass where you slip the stitches with the yarn held in different directions. You can opt to work both 'knit' stitches, although it can be more challenging as you’ll need to slip the stitches with yarn held in front for all slipped stitches on the return row. The results are undeniably beautiful and add a rich texture to your projects! Alternatively, if you choose to purl the return row, simply keep the yarn in its current position for ease.

Get Creative with Color! When working with mosaic knitting, experimenting with color can elevate your design. Consider using a different solid color for each motif section while maintaining a consistent background color. The combinations are endless, and we can’t wait to see the masterpieces you create!

Yarn Requirements: For your mosaic knitting project, we recommend using Color A (a striking contrast purple) of approximately 300 g, paired with Color B (the versatile main grey) of about 500 g. Remember, the exact yarn usage may vary based on your needle size, tension, and the specific weight of the yarn you select.
