It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Sashay Cowl in Deluxe DK Tweed Superwash (pattern link here).
This pattern was originally part of e-book Rustic and Refined, a collection of 13 patterns that are down-home yet sophisticated.
The collection really does have something for everyone – from glorious shawls like Drifting Hap…
…to warm socks with beautiful shaping like Traverse.
Today, we’re setting one of the collection’s patterns free! Say hello to the Sashay Cowl.
Sashay, like all the items in the collection, uses Deluxe DK Tweed Superwash.
The tweedy flecks coordinate with each yarn, and give a nice rustic feel to projects. Here’s a closer look showing how well this works to give a softer look to the Fair Isle in Sashay.
Just peeking around the edges of the Fair Isle, in the solid bands of 418 Terracotta, you can see 3×3 cables that mimic the diagonals in the Fair Isle. It’s a great design element from creator Rachel Brockman.
Sashay starts with a provisional cast-on and is worked in the round (my favorite way to knit Fair Isle). Work it from one end to the other as a tube, then graft the ends together for a seamless, cozy cowl.
We hope you enjoy this gratifying project. Stay safe, and have a great weekend.
Happy crafting!
