Before you plan Mocha Mousse color pairings, there are a few things to keep in mind.

• Understanding the Project - Before you get all hyped up with the color, plan your project. Whether you are going to make a pair of socks or a shawl, a sweater or baby blanket. Also, plan whether you want to knit or crochet, as the crafting style will affect the drape and yarn requirements.
• Exploring the Stitch Pattern - After you’ve decided on the project and crafting technique, think of the stitch pattern. Whether you want to work with basic garter or stockinette or twisted cables or lace.
• Knit or Crochet a Gauge Swatch - After you’ve decided on your color pairings before you cast on the first stitch or begin with the chain for the final projects, always start with a gauge swatch. Make a 10cm or 6” square of fabric with the yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks. Once the square is done, follow the yarn label care instructions. Wash and block. When dry and ready, take a look at it carefully. If the colorways are what you planned, go ahead with your project.
