Designer Cowl

by Iris

I designed this cowl last night:

new cowl

This is a very quick easy project that uses 1 skein of Artyarns Ultrabulky and 1 skein of Artyarns Cashmere 5 held together.  You can double the size of it by just making it twice as long with 2 skeins, as shown by this designer here .

Barbara from my Wednesday night knitting group brought me the photo and asked me to design it, so Barbara, this one’s for you sweetie!

The Multidirectional Bandit, A Holiday Gift

by Iris

Perfect for protection against the cold, particularly if you like to wear V-Neck T Shirts, this cowl is a fun twist on traditional knitting.  Starts with a diamond in the front, and then each side is knitted separately.  The two sides are joined with a 3-needle bind off.

You can use any yarn for this, but I suggest using the most soft and luxurious yarn that you can, because this will be worn directly on the skin on your neck, a very sensitive spot.  So treat yourself to our Ultrabulky, a 100% high quality fine merino, or Cashmere 5, or both (this cowl is knitted with both).  If you are living in a warm climate, make yours in Regal Silk, Silk Pearl, or Beaded Silk & Sequins.  A perfect idea for a small amount of Artyarns yarn.

Here’s the pattern.

Another version of this completed today in Cashmere 5 held with Beaded Cashmere & Sequins:
