Mosaic Mood is an elongated triangular shaped shawl, knit from the top down, using three shades of Amble from The Fibre Company. A captivating array of stitch patterns feature bands of playful mosaic flowers and coordinating border. Rhythmic and engaging to knit, you’ll not want to put this project down.
The color-work patterning is achieved using the mosaic technique, whereas you’ll simply be using just one color per row. Mosaic Mood also features neat and tidy I-cord edges, beautiful center spine detailing, and an exquisite two color I-cord bind-off.

The pattern itself includes a combination of written and charted instructions. The two main mosaic designs are charted only, however the instructions include a general tutorial video for reading mosaic charts and other helpful links to guide you along your knitting journey.
