This will be the 4th pattern in the Ravellenics 2022 collection. I hope to have it available by Feb. 12th - still plenty of time to make one as part of the Ravellenics.
If you buy the collection now, the pattern will be sent to you as an update as soon as it becomes available.

One Olympian commented that some of the winter sports make you feel like you’re flying.

I think mosaic technique is the knitting equivalent - even though you’re not weaving, you can create a fabric which looks like a complex woven textile, and even though you are only using one colour at a time it looks like fancy colourwork (and with a lot less effort than the winter athletes are putting in ☻)

The pattern is charted only.

You can use approx. 200m of each of 2 yarns to make an acessory-sized boomerang (to wear like a scarf) or allow more yarn if you wish to wear it around your shoulders as a shawl.

One yarn should be solid; it works well if the other is self-striping or variegated - either yarn can be used as background - you get different effects (see photos on the ravelry pattern page and also photos in the pattern)

The pattern contains instructions for an easy to work 2-colour bind-off which I “unvented” - I personally like it better than icord because it’s much less fiddly to work and lays flat - it’s a great match for the slipped stitch edge on this shawl.
