This mosaic knit shawl takes its inspiration from the evil architecture of Middle Earth. Think industrial lines and pointy bits of malice. The shawl is a boomerang shape (the same as my Sparkle and Fluff design) and is 100% mosaic knitting. If you haven’t tried mosaic knitting before, don’t worry it’s not nearly as scary as it looks! You just use one color at a time and slip stitches to create the pattern. Make like a hobbit and go on a new adventure with this pattern!
