Stripes and Links
Mosaic knitting is a term that was brought into existence by Barbara G. Walker. It often has a complex look of stranded knitting but in reality is simple stripes combined with slipped stitches. The graphic results are intriguing, while the fabric created is dense and warm.
Bright colors combined with a a stylish chullo hat and fingerless mitts make this duo a must have for cold weather wear.
