Apices is knit using a variation of mosaic style knitting. Mosaic knitting is knit using slipped stitches and only one color yarn per round. This gives you the look of Intarsia, or more traditional color work, but leaves the inside of the work looking almost as perfect as the outside. It also creates a fabric that is sturdy and warm. After a few rounds you will have mastered the technique and will wonder how such simple steps could produce such stunning results. Finished measurements: 8.5 high, 19.75 circumference (un-stretched).
