A Stunning Carina Mosaic Shawl
The Carina Mosaic shawl by Sylwia Kawczyńska is a beautiful shawl with mosaic-like tiles and bands of colors. It’s a reasonably thickly stitched garment, so it’ll be good for chilly days and evenings. While the room to experiment with colors is limitless, the golden and purple color set is truly beautiful.
What is Mosaic Crochet?
Mosaic crochet is a colorwork technique where you can create detailed tile-inspired patterns. Unlike tapestry crochet, which entails carrying several strands of yarn at the same time, mosaic crochet requires working with only one color at a time. Moreover, this technique uses simple stitches like single crochet and double crochet, which makes it pretty accessible.
Skill Level Required to Crochet this Mosaic Shawl
This pattern will suit perfectly intermediate crocheters, although adventurous beginners wanting to learn a new colorwork technique could certainly give it a test. The pattern provides step-by-step directions and detailed photo tutorials to follow your way through it.
Materials Needed for This Shawl Pattern
The best results using this pattern would probably be achieved with Scheepjes Our Tribe yarn, a luxurious blend of 70% Merino Superwash and 30% Polyamide. You will need approximately 984m (1,080 yds) of Yarn A and 820m (896 yds) of Yarn B.
Other materials are a 3.5 mm crochet hook, scissors, a tapestry needle to weave in ends, and a stitch marker to mark your place.
