It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Crinkle Cowl in Whisper Lace and Cotton Gold.
This is a great example of how bringing two different things together can result in something spectacular. Light and airy Whisper Lace is a laceweight wool/silk blend from our Fibra Natura line of natural luxury fibers. It’s a great choice for delicate, light projects.
Pair that with sequined Cotton Gold from our Rozetti line and you’ve got the perfect amount of bling to turn a light confection into a glamorous accessory perfect for party season.
Knit it flat on size 5 needles, work the light shaping to help it sit gracefully on your shoulders, then seam it up. Next step: be prepared to answer the sea of “where did you get that?” admiration with “What, this? I made it myself.”
As much as I love this in black, I’m wondering how it would look in Whisper Lace 113 Tango and Cotton Gold 1092. More to the point, I’m wondering how I would look rolling up to the office holiday party in a black jacket with this draped artfully around my neck.
Black’s a classic, but don’t limit yourself. You do you!
Happy knitting!
The crinkle cowl looks lovely and I downloaded it but there wasn’t a legend and I don’t understand most of the abbreviations. I’m hoping you can send me the legend, or my wool shop owner will be able to help. Best wishes, Ann
Hi, Ann! Your local wool shop will always be able to help, but we do have a list of abbreviations available that should clarify things.
