Hello!
This week I’ve got something new and a little unusual for you... a stitch that I've been unable to find online. Sometimes when I'm designing I just play with the yarn & see what happens. I had an idea in mind of the look I wanted to create for the Tales of Childhood Collection & just did what made sense at the time to achieve that look. I'm sure others have done this stitch before & it's just not very common, but it's always kind of exciting when it seems you've created a new way of doing things. (And it makes for a fun series of tutorial posts!)
This is one of 4 ways to make a pair of Twisted Stitches in Mosaic knitting. You can also think of them as 2 color, 1/1 cables without a cable needle. They sound much more complicated than they actually are and are really fun to work once you get a rhythm going. This tutorial uses 2 stitches (1 in each color) and will teach you how to make the color in the foreground (the pink) lean to the right when you are working a Right Side row.
Have fun & happy knitting!

PS: The yarn featured in this tutorial is from Toad Hollow Yarns in the Mawwiage & Hanging the Stars Colorways. The project I'm knitting on is the Story Hour Shawl.
Materials:
A knitting project or swatch with stitches live on the needles
Knitting needles appropriate for your yarn
Step 1:
With yarn in back, insert the right needle into second stitch on the left needle as if to knit...
Step 2:
Knit the stitch without removing the stitches from the left needle.
Step 3:
Insert the right needle into the first stitch on the left needle as if to purl...
Step 4:
Slip both the 1st and 2nd stitches off the left needle.
That's it!
You've just made a Mosaic Twist Right on the Right Side of your fabric!
Try It Out!
It's best to put a new technique into practice right away so that you can remember it in the future. Here are some of my patterns that are perfect for practicing this technique.
