Mosaic Gratitude Scarf
Knitting Pattern

The Mosaic Gratitude Scarf was inspired by Operation Gratitude’s Clear Your Stash Challenge 2020. This bold scarf has just enough detail to be interesting, but is still simple enough to knit over and over.

The Pattern

The pattern is worked back and forth down the length of the scarf.

Mosaic Notes

Mosaic designs are knit by changing colors at the end of every second row. You will only need to work with one yarn at a time.

Do not snip your yarn after a color change; instead, simply pick it up two rows later. It will fit neatly down the edge of your work.

When slipping stitches for mosaic knitting, always slip your right side stitches with yarn in back and always slip your wrong side stitches with yarn in front.

Special thanks to Deborah C. for finding an error in the pattern! It has been corrected.

Variations

Make it your own!

The mosaic effect is quite different when the brighter, lighter color is used as Color A than when used as Color B.
