Product Details
Arete is a colour-work cowl/wrap, knitted in the round and then steeked. It can either be worn as a long cowl covering your shoulders and neck, doubled over to create a chunky neck cowl or as a wrap placed over one shoulder.
Arete uses a 4 ply (fingering weight) yarn held double, which makes for a quick and cosy knit. Alternatively, you can swap out to a DK weight yarn with suitable meterage and toothyness for steeking.
This is a great make if you are ready to tackle a larger stranded colour-work project but aren’t quite ready for the intricacies of Fair Isle. The pattern is very easy to memorise, so it’s easy to get into a rhythm and knit this up in no time at all.
Yarn: The yarn used within the pattern is John Arbon Textiles Harvest Hues 4ply fingering weight (65% Organic Falklands Merino, 35% Zwartbles) in shades Blue Spruce (A), Bramble (B), Thistle (C) and Rosebay (D).
