Contrast Color(s)
Option A, shown in small sample: For the mosaic sections, use five colors in a sequence as shown or select more than five colors in any arrangement you like. This is a great project to get creative with minis!
Sample used approximately 10 g per CC.
CC1: 35 (40) yds / 32 (37) m
CC2: 35 (40) yds / 32 (37) m
CC3: 35 (40) yds / 32 (37) m

CC5: 35 (40) yds / 32 (37) m
Option B, shown in larger sample: Alternatively, the mosaic section could feature a single skein of yarn with or without shifting colors. My sample was knit with handspun fingering weight yarn for the contrast color.
