Wrap the Tigress over your shoulders to make a statement and feel safe, protected and courageous all at once.

The feature square in this design is achieved by slipping stitches and working with just one colour per row. Much simpler than stranded knitting.

The technique is called Mosaic knitting and if you have never tried Mosaic this is the perfect starting point.

The Mosaic square is fully written row by row as well as a chart for those who like charts. Your choice.

I want to go on record by saying how well-written and organized this pattern is! It’s very impressive. A great design is one thing, but great directions don’t always follow! With this pattern, everything is great! Art Lady
