Pattern:

  1. Begin by selecting your Main Color (MC) and Contrasting Color (CC) yarns. You will alternate between these colors to create the zig-zag effect.

  5. Row 3: Ch 1, turn. Sc in the first stitch using CC. Sc in the next stitch using MC, sc in the next stitch using CC. Repeat from * to * across the row.
  6. Row 4: Ch 1, turn. Sc in the first stitch using CC. Sc in the next stitch using CC, sc in the next stitch using MC. Repeat from * to * across the row.
  7. Repeat Rows 3 and 4: Continue alternating between Rows 3 and 4 to create the zig-zag pattern. Remember to change colors at the beginning of each row to achieve the mosaic effect.
  8. Continue repeating Rows 3 and 4 until your project reaches the desired height.
  9. Finish off your work and weave in any loose ends.
  10. Block your finished piece if desired to enhance the stitch definition and shape.
