Notes

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
  • CC1, CC2, CC3: 565 g/ 1130 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 used more color shades, details in notes below.

Extra colors:
I involved more colors, for some extra contrast.

  • Rows 1-20/ 183-202: CC1 = Dark grey
  • Rows 89 - 116: CC3 = Light beige.
  • Rows 83 - 122: MC2 = charcole (darkest) grey.
