Mosaic knitting may be the easiest among the knitting techniques that allow alternating colors, but this is also the least well-known. Mosaic knitting has been around for only 60 years, while knitting dates thousands of years way back. Mosaic knitting is relatively new because it was invented just in the 1960s by a journalist, feminist, a prolific researcher, and a self-taught knitter, Barbara G. Walker. She has written many books on knitting, especially on Mosaic Knitting. The mosaic knitting method is unique in the way that it involves three elements to make it work – slip stitch knitting, knitting with two colors independently, and using two high-contrasting colors.The technique creates a geometric pattern with the slipping stitches and the two contrasting colors. Mosaic knitting can use stockinette, garter stitch, or a combination of both to achieve different effects or textures. Contrasting colors of yarn (light and dark) are used to bring out the fabric’s mosaic pattern. Mosaic knitting is a simple technique to learn for those who are testing the waters for colorwork knitting. As long as you already know how to knit, purl, and do a slip stitch, learning mosaic knitting will be easy for you. With mosaic knitting, you will knit with one color per row or per round. The stitches of other colors on the row are slipped stitches. Usually, two rows or rounds are knitted actively for every color to achieve the mosaic pattern. You can do mosaic knitting on either straight or circular knitting needles to create your geometric designs. Mosaic knitting is a fun and easy way for beginners to explore colorwork in knitting. Compared to other techniques using different colors, mosaic knitting uses lesser yarn and creates exciting patterns using the most basic knitting stitches.
