…. is a re-make of Huckleberry Cowl, a design of mine from 2012. I love this cowl but I think the original sample didn’t do the pattern justice, the yarn was a little too silky so didn’t give the cowl a firm structure. I decided to re-make it, slightly longer and in a sturdier yarn – but what to choose?
In my stash I had a skein of Triskelion Yarn and Fibre’s Pryderi Dk, in a gorgeous blue – Cornflower. It is soft yet sturdy and is giving good stitch definition. In fact, it is perfect for this design.
Now it’s on the needles, I can’t put it down. So I predict I’ll finish it and be blocking within 24 hours,. Then I’ll re-write the pattern adding new photos and yarn. The pattern may well be a contender for the small selection I will take to Cheshire Fibre Festival.
Happy knitting xxx
Oh! that looks so yummy. I’m imagining it in a plummy purple. I wonder if I have any in my stash? 🙂
I used about 150m of dk yarn, and the cowl came out at about 130cm around, which is a perfect length for me! The updated pattern is now published on Ravelry and Loveknitting.
