I've been very remiss with my crafting and blog posting lately! I finished this knitted cowl at the end of June, and it's taken me this long to show it here.
It is the Snuggle Down Cowl by the lovely Jooles of Sew Sweet Violet.
I love this pattern - it is so simple and yet so effective, and very enjoyable to work on.
I used some 100% silk DK yarn by Willow Knits in colour Jade that I bought from Unravel in February, for only £10!
I used 40cm circular needles in size 5mm.
I do plan to make this pattern again, using the suggested method of holding fingering weight yarn along with some soft floof - suri alpaca yarn. I've got the below minis and floof just waiting!
I can't wait to see how it looks knitted up! It's in the queue, though, as I'm working on yet another cowl at the moment! (How many cowls does one person need??)
That is a lovely cowl. I don't like the ones that hang down so that one looks fabulous especially with all the stitch patterns. Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Yes I like a cowl to be nice and cosy around the neck! x
