Even if you are new to Mosaic knitting this pattern is not going to be hard to do.
Why? Because the pattern contains a chart for those who prefer working with them but is also fully written, row by row.

You choose your preferred method.

Itzel is Spanish for “rainbow lady” and is a good name for the sister of Xiomara.

While they are from the same bloodline they do look different from each other and their personalities are also unique.

Choose six colours for the body of the shawl and a good contrast colour for the accent of Mosaic.

Create your very own rainbow with colours that make you happy.

Itzel is designed with the ease of the Mosaic technique of slipping stitches and working with only one colour per row.

The pattern contains a chart for those who prefer working with them but is also fully written, row by row. You choose your preferred method.
