MosaicKnitting in General | If you've never done Mosaic Knitting before, I recommend a little research first. It's NOT | |||
with no number - the cloth in the photo looks orange and purple) which goes into a lot of detail or there are | ||||
manyexcellentonlineresources. |
Right andWrongSides | Odd number rows are on the right side, even number rows are the wrong side. In other | |||
words, if you are knitting an odd number row, you should be looking at the right side. | ||||
SlippingtheStitches | right side - wyib (with yarn in back) | wrong side - wyif (with yarn in front) | ||
StitchMarkers | I highly recommend them. I personally am not smart enough to knit most things, especially mosaic, | |||
without them. Your knitting will be much easier if you use them, in whatever configuration makes sense to | ||||
Cuttingtheyarnwhenaddingnewcolors | Don't.Youwon'tbecutting either color untilyou arecompletelydone | |
using it. Instead, carry it up the side of the work. My original Dishcloth in Mosaic on Ravelry (a free | ||
download) has detailed explanations on how to do this, or there are many good explanations online. |
SideBordersandStockinette I personally like the fancy borders and the look of stockinette. | |

want to mess with fancy side borders, you can just do garter stitch borders on the side. Just remember |
If you really hate purling | If you really want to make your life easy, just do your whole cloth in garter stitch (knit, | ||||

Borders in this Pattern | The borders in this pattern add an additional 8 stitches to the width (4 each side) | ||||
Adjusting the size of your cloth | To make sure the pattern stays centered on your cloth, if you want to adjust the size, | ||||
if the pattern multiple is 10+3, the 3 edge stitches are always there. If you want to make the cloth wider | |||||

CC | contrast color | ||||
sl | slip the stitch | e.g. sl-1 would mean to slip 1 stitch from the left needle to the right needle without | |||
working it (sl-2 would mean to slip 2 stitches, etc). For this pattern, always slip purlwise | |||||
which means the needle is facing the stitch tobeslipped as if you weregoing topurl it. | |||||
wyib | with yarn in back When you slip a stitch, the yarn needs to be in the back, just as if you were about to knit. | ||||
wyif | with yarn in front When you slip a stitch, the yarn needs to be in front, as if you were about to purl. |
