A while back, I encoded the word Rest and made it into a lace stitch pattern and a needlework chart. For this week’s post, I reworked a code grid I made while planning that post and turned it into a mosaic knitting stitch pattern. (I used the process described in this post.)
It’s pretty rare that I have opinions about what yarn might be best with my stitch patterns, but I think this one might be good for alternating the two ends of yarns like Kauni Effektgarn, Knit Picks Chroma, or other yarns with long color shifts.
A nice thing about mosaic knitting is that the charts are similar to the final appearance of the knitting, so I’m not going to provide a swatch. Mosaic knitting looks difficult, but it’s not as hard as it looks! Basically, knit two-row stripes, and slip stitches from the row below to make the contrasting pattern.
Here’s a detailed blog post I wrote about how it works.
