Knit a mosaic masterpiece in two colors of Quarry for style you can take to the city or the country. This striking coat is worked flat in one piece to the underarms, with increases forming slanted fronts that fasten with a single large closure. The sleeves are also knit flat, and the double-ribbed bands and dramatic collar are worked on stitches picked up from the body once seaming is complete. Mosaic knitting uses only one color per row, slipping the stitches that will appear to form the foreground, so it doesn’t create as thick and dense a fabric as stranded colorwork would. Choose two shades with high contrast—we used Slate and Moonstone—to make the most of Lander’s graphic geometry, or try a subtly shifting combination like Alabaster and Gypsum.

Construction

The body is worked flat in one piece from the lower edge to the underarms, on a circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches. The upper fronts and back are worked separately once stitches have been bound off for the underarms. The sleeves are worked flat. The collar and bands are picked up and worked from the body.

Closure shown on our sample is Jul Designs Mod Loop Leather Closure
