Pattern:
- A fun project, and always interesting.
- The mosaic chart has stitch counts, which makes it easy to count stitches.
- The striped doubleknit edge looks clean and gives a sturdy edge. It’s easy done using knit and slip stitches.
Finished measurements, unwashed:
- Length: 140 cm
- Width: 117 cm
Finished measurements, washed:
- Length: 163 cm
- Width: 123 cm
Gauge unwashed, mosaic pattern, needle 4.0 mm: 20 sts/ 48 rows = 10 cm.
Gauge washed, mosaic pattern, needle 4.0 mm: 20 sts/ 36 rows = 10 cm.
Yarn amount used total:
- MC1 and MC2: 580 g/ 1160 m

Modifications/ specifications:
- I counted the long tail cast on as the first RS row.
- I worked the bind off in the last WS row (not in the following RS row as written in pattern), using the Islandic bind off.

I involved more colors, for some extra contrast.
