Mosaic and Lace

Ever since I made Breigichean I’ve been looking for the chance to do more mosaic knitting. I really loved this pattern in particular, so I was on the lookout for ways to use it! So when I was looking for an idea for my June design, this was the perfect place to start!

I went on a bit of adventure trying to find two yarns to use, and I eventually settled on a gorgeous speckled white from Adventures in Yarncraft with this stunning blue from Cookston Crafts. I was a little reluctant because I had two skeins of the blue and I didn’t want to separate them, but in the end I think it was the right choice and I’m so happy with the results!

If you haven’t done mosaic knitting before, don’t worry, it’s really simple! You just knit a stripe of each colour and slip stitches from the previous row to make the pattern. That’s it! If you can slip stitches you can knit mosaic.

I picked the lace pattern for the border because I wanted to carry the chevron pattern from the mosaic all the way to the edge of the cowlette. I love the drama it brings to the edge of the cowlette. Block it out well to give your Moleery-Tea a gorgeous flirty edge!

Naming is often the hardest part for me. I chose the name Moleery-Tea because it’s a Scots name (there are lots) for the Yarrow plant. The leaves of the yarrow are feathery and reminded me of the lace pattern on the border of the cowlette!
