I must admit, I felt very goofy posing for pictures. We took WAY more than this...most of them I just had this awkward "I can't believe I'm doing this right now" look on my face.This is another very quick knit- perfect for a last minute gift or an immediate accessory. Now that I have the pattern down it takes me about an hour and a half to knit one up- how ideal for this busy time of the year!
So here's what you'll need:
- about 80 yards of super bulky weight yarn
- Size US 15 (10mm) needle
- Cable Needle
Here's some other yarn ideas for this pattern (use up that stash!):
This cowl was made with Knitpicks Wool of the Andes Bulky. Because it is not super bulky, I held together two strands of yarn and made the cowl exactly as directed.
This was two strands of Paton's Pure Organic Cotton yarn. Since it is only a worsted weight, I held together two strands of yarn and added 2 extra stitches to the width. To do so, I added one stitch to each side of the border.
Finally, the original Breckenridge Cowl, knit with 1 skein(yes, one!) of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick yarn:

Nice job. It looks like a good December project.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see this pop up on my Ravelry today! So pretty. You know what I love about your projects the most? You have a way of offering us all sorts of options from luxe to on the cheap. I adore a good design that can be made out of Wool-ease! Thanks for saving me a few bucks this Christmas :)
