Blanket Version: AMADEUS BLANKET

I like to think Mozart would be happy with my interpretation of how his music makes me feel. This shawl is both dramatic and yet calming with the flow of stitches and colours.

Amadeus will make a bold and elegant statement.

Mosaic knitting is incredibly beautiful and amazingly simple, nothing to fear and wonderful to learn! All the stitches are basic, even the Mosaic effect is achieved through the simplest of slipped stitches and working with only one colour in each row.

This is a great pattern with well written line by line instructions as well as charts if you prefer charts. This pattern would be a good first mosaic project for anyone looking to learn how to do mosaic knitting Rhc4

Pattern instructions are written out in full, row by row.

There are also charts to follow if you are a chart knitter. But if you aren’t you can just skip over them and ignore them completely.

Finished Measurements:
After gentle blocking: 42 cm/16.5” wide by 167.5 cm/66” long.
