Overshot-Inspired Mosaic Knitting (v) - September 14 with Ann Weaver

 VIRTUAL CLASS

This class is VIRTUAL at The comfort of your own location

Date(s): Sunday September 14 

Time:  1:00pm - 3:00pm

Instructor: Ann Weaver

Description:   In this workshop, students will experiment with mosaic/slipped-stitch patterns to begin a scarf or shawl inspired by overshot woven patterns. This technique uses only one color at a time to create squishy, highly textured fabric that's perfect for absorbent dishcloths or cozy scarves. Students will learn stitch patterns that use slipped stitches and reading mosaic knitting charts. 

Suggested experience:  Basic chart reading skills

Supplies: 

• US Size 5 circular needle, 24 inches or longer
• Yarn in two weights: Fingering or sport weight for the background color, and worsted or aran weight for the pattern color. Students can use scraps from their stashes to swatch and experiment during the workshop, or they can come with the yarns for the scarf ready to go.
• At least 2 stitch markers

The scarf requires:

About 600 yards fingering or sport weight yarn. I used three skeins of Plied North Ave in three different colors: Tree Baltimore, Lady Day, and Black Panther.

About 200 yards of worsted or aran weight yarn. I used 2 skeins of Plied Penn Ave Primaries in Natural.

Homework: none
