In the Groove
In the Groove is an asymmetric shawl knit using mosaic (slip stitch) colorwork and a built-in I-cord edge.
Mosaic knitting is so easy that anyone can do it. That’s because you only work with one color at a time, which makes it perfect for beginners (or anyone who has not yet tried color-knitting).
If you can knit and purl, you can do mosaic knitting!!!
So grab 2 colors and get In the Groove!
Yarn: Baah Yarns La Jolla (100% Superwash Merino 400 yds/115 grams)

Contrast Color (CC): Black Pearl, 300 yards, 1 skein
Needles: US 4/3.5mm, US 6/4mm for bind off
Notions: Stitch markers (optional, but good for marking repeats), Tapestry needle, T-pins and blocking wires for blocking
Gauge: 24 stitches = 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch. Although gauge is not crucial for this project, it will affect the finished size and yarn requirements. A looser gauge will result in the use of more yarn.

A giant THANK YOU to my awesome test knitters who helped so much along the way!!! -
