Slip Away Cowl
Slip away is a fun Mosaic Cowl that is perfect for even a beginner who is wanting to try some new techniques. This pattern is perfect for using up some of the half skeins of fingering weight that you have sitting around.
Mosaic knitting is a method of knitting that uses slipped stitches to create a colorwork design across your work. It is different from stranded colorwork in that you are not carrying the two yarns throughout a round but instead alternating what color you use every other round.
