Mosaic Chevrons Cloth Knitting Pattern by Terry Liann Morris - SailingKnitter

MOSAICCHEVRONSCLOTH

By Terry Liann Morris - SailingKnitter

Technically, Mosaic knitting is very easy to work because you only use one color on each row and simple knit and slip stitches. The pattern is made by slipping stitches from a prior row which are a different color. The execution of the pattern can be a little mind-boggling, thus making a small cloth is a great first-time project. Use a ruler or highlighter to keep track of your rows.

Materials

45yds each of 2 different colors of worsted weight cotton yarn. Sample shown is Lily Sugar'n Cream colors 00002 Black (color A) and 21712 Lime Stripes (color B) US size 7 straight needles

Size Approx. 7" square Gauge 5 sts = 1"

Notes

1. Mosaic designs are made by alternating two different colored yarns every other row. You will be working with only one color at a time and either knitting or slipping the stitches. At the end of a wrong side row, you will drop the old color and pick up the new color before beginning the next right side row. 2. All slipped stitches are worked as if to purl (purlwise). 3. All slipped stitches on even (wrong side) rows are made by bringing the yarn to the front to the front (to the wrong side which is facing you), slip the stitch, and take the yarn to the back to knit the next stitch (slip 1 wyif). 4. Leave the yarn in back when slipping stitches on the right side rows. 5. Slip the first stitch of each row as if to purl, then take the yarn to the back to knit the next stitch. With color A and using the long-tail (slingshot) method, cast on 36 sts. Knit one row. Begin working Mosaic Chevrons pattern using either the chart or the line-by-line instructions. Repeat the 28 rows of the pattern once more, then work rows 1 through 12 only or work until %" before total desired length.
