From the incomparable Amy Christoffers, a collection of five brand-new designs that explore the colour, texture, and fascinating possibilities of mosaic knitting – the simple technique that creates beautiful colour work via slipping stitches.

• The Waffle Pullover is a hug in sweater form, with texture as the star. Worked in the round, from the top down, with raglan sleeves, this is an ideal canvas for the cushy texture of mosaic. And colour can become a big factor – the two colours you choose can be either subtle or vibrant, as you like.

• The Floating Squares Wrap pattern takes mosaic to an exquisite mood. It’s a lush swath of mohair and silk: ethereal and light. It’s hard to believe that the simple slip stitch technique can create a fabric so airy. The result is soft and kind of blurry in the best impressionistic way.

• Things get very quiltlike with the Ocean Waves Cowl. We love seeing an ombré yarn used in this way: it adds surprise to the knitting. Amy’s pattern allows you to watch an ombré and a semi-solid yarn shift and play, and it’s the best fun. The triangular motif is an ode to the classic ocean waves quilt pattern.

• Amy’s Ocean Waves Mitts & Wristwarmers are little toasty tubes, artfully designed: a great idea either with or without the thumbholes.

• The Windowpane Cowl is a great entry point to this new world. The pattern is clean and classic, and lets you ease into the rhythm of slipping stitches. This two-colour mosaic pattern is made while holding a strand of wool and two strands of mohair/silk together.
