It's spring and in Northern California, it is still nippy. I'm ready to put away my bulky scarves but still want to keep the chill off my neck. So I decided to use some very special yarn to make a neck warmer. In my view, this is not a cowl. It is fairly close fitting without being at all tight. It scrunches so I can adjust the length. In a pinch, I can pull it up and use as a hat if my head is cold.
Krista of
Pigeonroof Studios
gave me this gorgeous skein of Siren Two Sport in a unique colorway.
It deserved to be made into some special that wasn't hidden on my
feet. I used a simple lace pattern. Then I cast on and knit until it was long enough. I call it cobblestones because the knit fabric reminds me of cobblestone roads that are laid out in random patterns. I used less than 250 yards of sport weight yarn. You can download a free copy of the pattern from my
Ravelry shop.
