Lucy Cowl in Noro
 |
| Noro cowl |
Pattern: Lucy Cowl by Pepperberry Knits - free pattern (Ravelry link)
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden Sock (color #S293)
Needles: 16 inch circular, size 4
Stitches: 70 sts
The pattern calls for 50 sts. on size 7 needles, using DK weight yarn. Since I was using sock yarn, I decreased the needle size and increased the stitch count. At 34 inches in circumference, the cowl is not long enough to wrap twice around my neck; however, it can be tucked flat to provide coverage under a coat.
Do you like to "kitchener"?
Yes, I like kitchener and I don't mind seaming. Nice job on the cowl!
ReplyDeleteI am new to Kitchener and have to keep the directions in front of me to do it but it is a nice finish. The cowl looks great...love the colors.
ReplyDeleteNow you've done it! Every time you knit something with Noro I end up knitting something with Noro. And I HATE Noro. Anyway, love the cowl and the colors are gorgeous. I have never used Kitchener but I keep telling myself I need to learn how to do it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Don't you love free patterns? Now I need to check out this one as I have Noro sock yarn somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind doing Kitchener. Once you get the "rhythm" going, it's pretty easy.
ReplyDeleteYour cowl came out beautiful. Maybe that is what I'll do with the Noro sock yarn I have in my stash. It's a little too heavy for Florida socks.
I love your cowl. I fear the kitchener stitch. I have about36 live stitches on two circular needles to weave. I'm going to beg a friend to do it
ReplyDeleteLovely cowl, I have never heard of the kitchener stitch...I assume it is for knitting something together:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love to Kitchener and might have to look into this... right after some baby knitting.
ReplyDeleteThe cowl turned out beautifully in Noro sock yarn. I like doing the kitchener stitch, but doing so many stitches might feel a bit daunting at first!
