Everblue Shawl make-a-long: PART 2

Welcome to Part 2 of the Everblue Shawl make-a-long! Hopefully, your shawl’s body is finished by now (if not, please find Part 1 of the make-a-long HERE), and today we will continue with the bottom and will start making the mosaic panel.

This pattern uses so-called “inset crochet mosaic method”, which means the colors are changed on every second row without cutting the yarn (it is brought up along the edge and small floats of yarn appear). So, almost no ends to weave in!

On next rows you will make single crochet stitches and chains, you will skip the stitches and also work “mosaic double crochet” stitches into those skipped sts from 3 rows below. I would highly recommend you to study the chart and try following it without the written instructions. Once you understand how it read it, the mosaic will go smoothly. If you have any questions, please ask them in our Facebook group, where the make-a-long is officially hosted.

You can purchase ready-to-print and ads free pdf with the complete pattern on Ravelry HERE and Etsy HERE.

How to read Mosaic Panel Chart

The chart is read bottom to top. Each row represents 1 row on one side of Shawl.

Yellow squares indicate cnr ch2-sps. Follow chart until cnr. Work (1sc, ch2, 1sc) in ch-2 sp (those sc are marked with I), then cont in opposite direction to mirror same mosaic st patt for second side.

Each square shows 1 st or 1 sk st. The first square of each row shows color used for that row. 2sc marked with \ / at beg and end of each row indicate increases: 2sc worked in first/last st of prev row.

When squares of different color appear in row, they should be sk and instead you work same number of chs as number of sk sts. For 1 sk st, ch1; for 2 sk sts, ch2, etc.

On RS rows, with contrasting color, work mdc in these sk sts from 3 rows below in front of chs of prev rounds. Mdc are marked with X. On WS only sc and chs are made. Sc are made in sts of prev row, and chs are made in same place on both rows.
