Notes

This was fun!
I‘m a big fan of mosaic patterns and this pattern was such a quick and fun knit. I‘m thinking about knitting a 2nd one for myself.

Knit 4 repeats in 3rd section and two repeats of border section.
Hold CC yarn (Nordlys) and Border Color (Baby Alpaka) double.
Started with the same needle size for stipes and mosaic section but frogged 2nd repeat in section 2 and knit it again with a bigger needle (+0.5mm) for mosaic part as I wasn‘t sure if the ripples would remove after blocking. There were still ripples (mainly in first repeat after increases), but not as many/big ones as before.

Finished size 48 cm x 104 (before blocking)
