Mosaic knitting is a slip-stitch pattern that allows you to work interesting and complex-looking geometric designs using only one color per row. While it can seem tricky to understand, once you get the basics, you can do any mosaic pattern under the sun. Edie Eckman will teach how to read mosaic-knitting charts, demonstrating four different stitch patterns on swatches. After you take this class, you'll be ready to make placemats (PDF pattern included) or any other mosaic project you choose.

Here’s what you’ll need:
Edie demonstrates the techniques in the class with a worsted weight yarn.
- Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima (100% pima cotton, 3.5 oz/100 g, 220 yd/200 m), 1 skein each of 2 colors for each placemat. Colors should be highly contrasting in order to see the pattern. Each placemat takes just over 1/2 skein of each color, so you should be able to get 3 placemats from 2 skeins of each color. Colors shown are: (A) 3719 Buff, (B) 3735 Jade, (C) 3745 Bright Olive

I'd heard of mosaic knitting but didn't know what it was, This class was clear and informative about this type of knitting pattern. I look forward to seeing other patterns now!

Edie Eckman is an excellent teacher in this mosaic knitting class! She is very easy to understand and her knitting demonstration is in focus and fun to watch. I will be back when my sprained wrist is ready to knit again ?

I liked her explanations of how to read the fabric in front of me to help keep tracks of where I am on the chart. I also admired her explanations of how to adapt a chart to make sure MY project turns out symmetrical. There's something very realistic about her teaching style.
