NOTES:
• During yarn changes, simply carry yarn up the side of the work.
• Mosaic knitting (also called slipped-stitch color work) is worked using only one color per row. The pattern
is formed by slipping contrasting color stitches purlwise from previous rows.
• Fabric made with many slip stitches (Mosaic knitting) tends to be tighter than garter stitch worked with the same size needle, therefore you may want to go down a needle size for the garter stitch section.
• Slip all stitches purlwise, with the yarn held in back on RS rows and with the yarn held in front on WS rows.
• All Mosaic Charts use one color per row. The color of the first stitch of the chart represents the color used for that entire row.
• The WS rows for the mosaic section are not shown on the charts, therefore each charted row represents two rows of knitting. On the WS side rows, you simply knit the knit stitches and slip the slip stitches purlwise with yarn in front.
