taking a break from the baby sweater

To make a luscious cowl.

Cowl














Yarn: Handmaiden Swiss Mountain Cotton Silk in Topaz
Pattern: Nova's Birthday Cowl
Mods: My gauge was 6 st =1" using US 6 needles. I cast on 121 stitches.

The pattern was simple and easily memorized. The resulting cowl is gorgeous and the yarn is heavenly.

Thanks Nova for a great pattern!

I feel so out of it -- I hadn't realized cowls were in and suddenly you are making me want one!

You're welcome! I need to get my hands on some of this yarn. I think it would feel oh-so-special around my neck. Also, I bet this was nice to knit after working with the hemp.
