Mosaic Feather and Fan Scarf

[mittenmaker]

Hi everyone These photos are of my first project using Mosaic. Such a yummy yarn to work with--doesn't shred/split--the colors stripe beautifully. . .almost "cottony" feeling. . .I chose Spectrum for my scarf. It measures 6 inches wide and 43 inches long. I used 1 ball of Mosaic and size 7 needles. The project only took a few days of very happy work.

This is beautiful mittenmaker!!!

I love the mosaic book they have on the Bernat home page.

Hi zhanie and needlenut! Thank you for saying the nice things about my scarf and my model, Philo Dog. He is special to me.
zhanie, I checked out the Mosaic pattern book on Bernat site. Nice patterns for knit and crochet. I would like to do another project in Ambrosia.

I like feather and fan stitch because it is SUPER easy and it looks way more difficult than it is! Here goes:

Cast on 36 stitches (stitch seems to be multiples of 18?? )
Row 1: Knit.
Row 2: Purl.
Row 3: Knit 2 together 3 times (yarn over, knit 1) six times, knit 2 together three times. Repeat across row.
Row 4: Knit.

That's all there is to this version! There Are variations of F & F, but I like this one the best as it is so quick and easy, only 1 row where you have to pay some attention; the results are wavy and lacy.

Have a good afternoon!

Thankyou mittenmaker. I will try that when I have time. (at least three of the rows are easy lol). I will just have to pay attention a quarter of the time. It is very pretty. I like the crocheted mermaid cowl in that e-book. I still have another three pairs of slippers to make too! this KAL is taking up most of my knitting time, but I think it will be worth it. knitting makes such a nice soft comfy fabric.

Hi zhanie! I can't wait to see your afghan! That is an ambitious project--you go!
I will have to check out the mermaid cowl -- It's in Mosaic, right?
I find a lot of patterns I like (I call them "recipes") sometimes in crochet--which are so nice because of the lacy quality of crochet. I confess I'm crochet-impaired. . . I just seem to need that second needle!

have you ever tried crocheting? I like it because you can't drop stitches when you crochet

[mittenmaker]

Hi zhanie! I kinda sorta tried--I'm not too nimble with the hook. But the fact that you can't drop stitches--now that gets my attention!
I tried looking for the mermaid cowl but I can't find it
