It’s always nice when learning a new knitting skill to find projects that are small or just use a little bit of that technique so you can get comfortable with it without being intimidated by the scale of the project.
Afternoon in Lisbon by Lisa Hannes is a great example because it’s a mostly striped sweater with just a bit of mosaic knitting on those adorable cap sleeves.
The mosaic is presented in chart form, so you can learn the skill of reading a mosaic knitting chart and get comfortable with the (really easy) technique without a lot of work.
This sweet pattern is available on Ravelry for €6 (or about $6.76 as of this writing).
