Homebound is full of texture, combining traditional shape with a modern mosaic. It’s knit in worsted weight yarn so it will be ready to wear before you know it! I used local to me wool yarn called Home Grown, undyed woolen spun goodness has me convinced to never take it off! Tassel were added to a more boho feel:)

The pattern is easy to follow, including charts only for the mosaic sections. Don’t know how to read charts? No problem! I have recorded a MOSAIC primer tutorial for you here - once you try it, there is no going back, it is that easy! Mosaic stitch uses only ONE color per row, resulting in stunning colorwork effects, win win!:)

The mosaic portion of the pattern is chart ONLY
