Ahh is the week over yet?! There’s a deadline at work next week which means I leave for and come home from work in the dark…so I apologize for the low-lit, drywall-background pictures, but the blog must go on despite long work hours! I can’t keep waiting until the weekend for sunny, fence pictures. Although I do like sunny, fence pictures the best…
Here’s a Shimmery Cowl to brighten your Thursday. And guess what?! It’s not green!
I used Moda Dea Caché yarn. Color: Wink.
Photo from Etsy.com
I had about 2.5 skeins of this yarn and was just going to go until I used it up.
Here’s the pattern….(super simple again)
I used US size 11 Circular Needles
CO 100 (ish) and join stitches.
K 4 rounds
P 2 rounds
Repeat until its the desired thickness.

Beautiful cowl. Love it. The sheen is brillant.
i love this!! I love the color and the shimmer!!
Can this be doubled up? I’d love to make this along with some kind of matching hat.
Approximately how many pattern rows did you do? I am not sure how wide I want this to be and can’t really “count” the pattern rows in your picture. Thanks.
Stupid question but how do u join the yarn together to make this cowl? I only know how to make blankets with your basic knitting, purling and yarning over
I used circular needles and slip stitched the stitches together after the first row. It can be tricky though because you need to be careful not to twist the stitches. There are a lot of videos online that will give a clear explanation on knitting in the round. Good luck!
Couldn’t you just knit around to join it – knit directly from the last stitch to the first in the round?
Just came across your site and love all your ideas. Keep it up with your great thoughts.
is it possible to make this on a round knitting loom? I love it!
Cheaper to buy at wal mart.
