Three-and-One Tweed
With mosaic knitting, only one color is used for each pair of rows, but slipped stitches are used to pull contrasting-colored stitches up to create the vertical columns of color. Plus, this stitch uses a garter-stitch based mosaic structure, so there are no purl stitches.
Slip stitch patterns just work very well with alternating colors!With color A, cast on a multiple of 4 stitches + 3 and knit one row.
