Mosaic knitting, is a technique that creates beautiful colourwork but is much less complicated than other knitting colourwork techniques: with mosaic knitting you only work one colour per row so you don't have to worry about carrying floats of yarn like you do with stranded colourwork techniques. Mosaic knitting also creates a softer fabric than stranded knitting and the finished knitted fabric maintains its stretchiness.
