Product Details
A field of reverse stockinette becomes the backdrop for columns of eyelets punctuated with bobbles, reminiscent of long grasses and seed pods waving in an autumn breeze. Worked flat and seamed at the back neck, this bandanna-style cowl works up quickly; the repetition of deceptively simple stitches makes for rhythmic knitting. Designed to commemorate Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday, the cowl is named for one of the great composer’s favorite valley haunts, where he frequently took long walks for rest, thought, and inspiration.
The cowl is cast on at edge A-B, knit flat, and seamed at the back neck after blocking (see diagram). A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches; do not join in the round. The sample shown was made with 2 skeins of Knit Picks Twill (149 yd/136 m) with very little left over. It may be advisable to have extra yarn.
Lace is charted only.
