Are you ready for another single skein project?!? Cascade cowl is the perfect project for that luxury or single skein of sock yarn you've been holding on to.
Cascade was inspired by gradients, the movement of the colors and the simple exchanges dyers make. Instead of transitioning color Cascade transitions stitches. The lace design is made from double wraps and they are super easy to make and knit. These double wraps are slightly larger than a traditional yarn over so they are a bit more bold.
I love the 'cascading' stitches down the cowl, changing from quite often to very sporadic. I knit my cowl from a MCN blend (Merino/Cashmere/Nylon) which is lovely to wear around your neck but any fingering weight you are comfortable on sensitive skin will work.
The colorway I used is a solid/slightly tonal but my fabulous test knitters used a variety of dye styles so you can pretty much use anything. I do think that a self striping or self patterning will hide the stitches.
Happy Knitting!
How does one find this pattern?

DeleteI'm knitting this but I'm confused. Every other "hole" is offset in the photo creating diagonals. But when I follow the pattern, the "holes seem to line up each on top of the one below. Am I reading this wrong?
ReplyDeleteHi! Following the pattern that holes of the lace are off-set. Please email skreun1@gmail.com for a more in-depth answer and perhaps send a photo. Thanks! Sierra
