Arrow Cowl + Rios
The Arrow Cowl makes the most of mosaic knitting, using one color of yarn at a time to achieve a colorwork look...without the fuss of floats! If you're a new knitter and want to expand your skills, the Arrow Cowl is a perfect project to tackle next! It's worked in Malabrigo Rios; it’s super soft and great for next-to-the-skin wear! Spun from premium superwash merino, it comes in an array of watercolor-multi, semi-solid, and variegated colorways. TO make an Arrow of your own, you'll need two skeins of Rios (one each of two different colors) and a 16" US 7 circular needle. Shop all of the gorgeous shades of Rios HERE and grab the circular needle HERE! The Arrow Cowl pattern is free with any two-skein Rios purchase!Sample shown in Valentina and Paris Night
It's Skip + Wizard AGAIN!
We shared Alison Green's Skip cowl with you a few weeks back- and we're sharing it AGAIN because we finally got a gander at another color combo and it's gorgeous!
Skip works up quickly and we're placing it on the "knitworthy gift list" -- especially if your list requires knitting multiple items for many people! Worked in Berocco's Wizard, a magical blend of color-shifting hues that knit up into gorgeously soft, remarkably lightweight hats, mittens, cowls and garments. The blend of extrafine Merino wool and nylon is so soft, warm and durable. Also new this season are solid colorways!
It's a perfect yarn for Skip, which pairs one solid Wizard and one multi-color Wizard to create a wearable piece that's simple to knit. Worked from the top down, slipped stitches create a striking pattern with just two balls of yarn. Bonus: you WILL have enough remaining yarn to knit another one!
Shop the new colors of Wizard HERE! One solid Wizard and one multi-color Wizard are required to complete your Skip! The pattern for Skip is right here! 24" circular US 10 needles are here if you're fresh out.
