Synopsis

Built around the combination of mosaic knitting and lace stitches, this book explores how slip-stitch colourwork can be paired with lace to create flexible fabric with comfortable drape. The 20 projects include shawls, cowls, scarves, hats and other accessories, developed from the author’s experimentation with the technique.

A dedicated instructional section covers the essentials of knitting slip stitches, reading lace and mosaic charts, working mosaic in the round, and practical tips for avoiding common pitfalls. Patterns are presented for all levels, beginning with designs where mosaic and lace appear in separate sections before moving on to more complex pieces that work both stitch types at the same time, making it suitable for knitters looking to build skills as well as those seeking a more involving knit.
