More Mosaic Made Easy …

Tessello means ‘to mosaic’ in Latin.

You will be working in the round. Using a simple combination of knits, purls and slip stitches you will work up a beanie that is an array of stunning zig-zag stripes. You will only ever be working with one colour at a time.

Works beautifully with a main skein of a solid yarn and then a choice of another solid yarn or a long colour change skein. You could even stash bust some leftovers for the secondary colour.

Written and charted for two sizes with handy progress check boxes, so you can keep a visual track of where you are.

I have formatted this so that you should only need to print (double sided) as follows :

Size 1 – Written : pages 3 & 4
Size 1 – Charted : pages 5 & 6
Size 2 – Written : pages 7 & 8
Size 2 – Charted : pages 9 & 10

Saving the planet one unprinted page at a time.

Follow me (@beanieboat) on Instagram and Facebook for updates on future patterns, test-knits and giveaways from my little floating shop. Yes, I said floating … it’s on a narrowboat.

If you like the look of this pattern it would be a huge help to me if you would give it a like as I have an overflowing notebook of ideas and this helps me understand what to work on next. Your support of my little dream is so appreciated. Every ‘like’ helps and it’s a known fact I do a tiny happy dance each time I get a notification. I am a terrible dancer!
