Ancient Moss Light is an asymmetrical skinny triangle shawl with an allover mosaic slipped stitch colorwork pattern.

Mosaic knitting is the perfect stepping stone to colorwork, and Ancient Moss Light uses an easy-to-remember stitch pattern that creates beautifully textured stitches.

The pattern calls for three colorways of fingering weight yarn, but you can use as few as two colors or as many more as you’d like.
