This wrap is named for the amazing place I live, Tahlequah, Oklahoma, because it feels so close to my heart.

Using only one color at a time, Mosaic Stitch is an astonishingly easy introduction to colorwork. Worked entirely in Garter and Mosaic Stitches, it offers a nice balance between relaxation and attention, and there is no purling at all. It is knit back and forth on the bias, from end to end, resulting in the highly wearable rhomboid shape.

This was formerly an MKAL hosted through my LYS, Loops Tulsa.

Yarn: Fingering weight. To get the desired effect you need the following types of colors:
Color A (bold) 438 yards
Color B (light, white, neutral. could be lightly speckled) 438 yards
Color C (bold) 438 yards
Color D (light color which pairs subtly with Color B) 438 yards
