8. Mosaic Charts
Mosaic Charts
Mosaic knitting is a color technique normally taught to beginners. Because you only knit with one color at a time, it is physically less challenging (and looks different) than Fair-Isle knitting.
Mosaic charts, however, are a world of their own. The in-depth video below de-mystifies these cryptic charts while you practice a simple concentric circles design, completely in Garter stitch.

Designing Mosaic Knits
To design your own Mosaic knits, Barbara Walker’s book Mosaic Knitting is indispensable.
It includes written patterns and charts for 380 mosaic designs that you can add to your own projects.
This is the book I studied before creating the KnitFreedom video course on the topic.
