I feel like slip stitch knitting does not get as much attention as it should as a really cool technique that makes color knitting easy.
When you work slip stitch or mosaic knitting, you’re only working with one color of yarn at a time on each row. To make the colorful pattern you slip stitches, so the color from previous rows is carried up, making a design.
You’ll get really comfortable with the technique if you knit the Slip Stitch Mosaic Tote from Lion Brand Yarn (free registration required to download).
This project is a cool sampler worked block by block, picking up stitches for the next piece as you go. It’s colorful, fun, and maybe a bit of a challenge if you’ve never worked mosaic projects before, but the results are well worth the learning curve.
