A knitting pattern for a beautiful mosaic shawl. The shawl is knitted flat on circular needles using stockinette stitch as a base. The edge is ribbing finished with an icord bind-off The finished project will be around 160cm x 80 cm (63 x 31.5 in). **Included in the pattern:** * pdf with altogether 10 pages * very detailed step-by-step written instructions tons of pictures and helpful tips * video tutorials for all knitting techniques are available (on my blog) * charts for the mosaic parts **Difficulty: intermediate knitters** This mosaic shawl is a wonderful easy-going evening project with a very easy and simple repeat. The mosaic panels and the Latvian braid add interest but will not pose a great challenge for an intermediate knitter. It does not require any overly complicated stitches, the repeat is easy to remember and the triangular bottom-up construction is also very intuitive. **Yarn and yardage:** A thicker fingering weight yarn with a nice stitch definition. For my samples I used 3 skeins of the Wollmeise Pure (100 g = 350 m/383 yds) in the colors black (C), natural (A), and tulip (B) (altogether 360g or 1260 m/1378 yds). The pattern is designed in a way so you use up almost the complete skeins (~90g in C, 80g in A, and 90g in B). For the other sample the Zealana Kauri (40 g =153m/167 yds) in the colors kea, green peka, and dark tepo (altogether 320 g or 1224 m/1338 yds). *Skills required:* knit, purl, KLL, KRL, KFB, a Latvian braid and an I-cord bind-off Step-by-step video tutorials are available for all techniques. **Additional materials:** stitch marker, blocking mats & pins, tapestry needle **Errata:** The chart on page 6 has been updated. The custom stitch count below the chart was off by 4 stitches. This has been fixed with version 1.21 and an update has been sent out via Ravelry. Errata: Round 1-3 (Page 9) was missing a "slip marker".
