Nightshift is made using mosaic knitting. This consists of slipping stitches in pattern. Each section alternates between two motifs, and since Ito is a self-striping yarn, the color changing work is done for you! We used one color as the background and one as the foreground all the way through the shawl. When choosing colors, we went with one bright and one more subtle shade in 2 different color families- reds and blues. That way you really see the contrast in the motifs. Choose two colors in the same color family for a more subtle version. We have seen many versions of these knit in Ito, and they all look fantastic! |
