Zigzagging Path

The shortest path between two points is a straight line … but that doesn’t mean it’s the most fun! Zigzagging mosaics interspersed with simple garter stitch draw the eye from one section to the next in this easy mosaic knit design.

Choose anywhere from two to twelve colors with good contrast and enjoy your journey!
