Soft Shifts

A Mosaic-Stitch Cowl // Design by Tabetha Hedrick

Mosaic patterning of diagonal lines and dots makes for a beautifully eye-catching accessory. Worked up in a worsted-weight yarn, knitters can zip through it in no time at all, promising a nearly instant gratification result.

• yarn: 2 skeins SweetGeorgia Yarns Superwash Worsted, 1 each in Jasmine (MC) and Lupine (CC) (200 yds / 182 m per 4 oz / 115 g skein; 100% Superwash Merino)
• needles: Size 8 US / 5 mm circular needles, 24" / 60 cm long
  Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.
