Pattern Overview:

• Construction: The shawl is knit from the center outward. This is not your standard garter stitch tab, this is an invisible tab that flows gracefully into the overall design. Once the mosaic work is done, a few rows of eyelet lace are added and then finished with a picot bind off. This construction method ensures a balanced and symmetrical finish, with the intricate mosaic patterns radiating out from the center and is framed by the lace.

• Techniques: The shawl is worked in a mosaic pattern, using only one color at a time from charted instructions. This technique creates a stunning visual effect without the complexity of managing multiple yarns simultaneously. If you’re new to colorwork, this pattern is an excellent introduction to mosaic knitting, as it simplifies the process while still delivering a striking result.
