Hello! Thank you for coming to have a look at my newest pattern and collaboration with Campfiber Yarns

This super beginner friendly, slouchy beauty is a mosaic colourwork pattern. Mosaic knitting is absolutely the most easy way to use two different colours in your knitting:

  1. You only ever hold one colour at a time

  2. You are only knitting and slipping stitches

  3. Every round is worked twice. So on the second round you have your stitches right in front of you. No need to look at the pattern.

We are using fingering weight held double (a dk weight yarn would work just as well) We CO at the brim, and work up through the mosaic pattern, to the crown. The mosaic motif is included as both a chart and a written set of directions so you can choose your preferred type of instruction.

The pattern is offered in 4 sizes (baby/toddler - xl adult), and has a few different colour combo options: two colour, using a different colour for each mosaic repeat, or marling and fading your yarn in the mosaic repeat.

This is one of those fast, engaging but easy, ‘bag of chips’ type patterns that you will want to knit again and again!
