: To form the design, certain stitches are moved from the left needle to the right needle without being knitted.

(commonly known as Lazy Jacquard or Mosaic Knitting ) are a simplified colorwork technique where complex-looking designs are created by using only one color of yarn at a time.

: Since only one color is active, the back of the work remains tidy and uniform, preventing the fabric from bunching or catching. Mosaic Knitting Tutorial and free pattern
