Triangular shawl in garter stitch and garter stitch mosaic.

Mosaic patterns may look complicated, but they are in fact easy to work because you use only one colour at a time opposite to stranded patterns. The star pattern is shown in a chart followed by written instructions, which should make it easy to work.

The shawl is worked sideways connecting the stars and stripe pattern together. You finish the shawl by knitting up stitches for the I cord edge and bind off.
