Pale Moon is a soft crescent shaped shawl that uses two contrasting colours and features a mosaic section that transitions the two colours.
If you have never tried mosaic knitting before it’s super simple and I’m now addicted to the beautiful patterns it creates. Essentially its just like knitting stripes, you use one colour for a right side and wrong side row and alternate the colours every two rows. The amazing pattern effect is achieved by slipping some of the stitches. It’s as simple as that!
