Recipe for a Cowl
Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 4:30PM | Breean Elyse 
I really like it when knitting patterns are written as recipes, allowing the knitter to easily adapt and change the item as it suits them.
My most recent design is a recipe of sorts. The Geometric Cowl Recipe has several components that you can combine in order to create a unique piece every time you use the pattern.
The possibilities are endless - yarn choice (color-changing, solids, heathers) and color contrast, multicolored or solid ribbing, to braid or no braid, mirrored or continuous colorwork triangles…
I knit the two samples featured above, using the recipe as my guide. The difference is drastic!
Example 1: High Contrast Version
Main Color: Noro Taiyo Sock (color 3 shown)
Contrast Color: Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (Antler shown)
Recipe Used:
- 1 Solid Yarn & 1 Color-Changing Yarn
- 2 Color Ribbing
- Double Braid
- Mirrored Colorwork
- Double Braid
- 2 Color Ribbing
Example 2: Subtle Version
Main Color: Brooklyn Tweed LOFT (Truffle Hunt shown)
Contrast Color: Brooklyn Tweed LOFT (Old World shown)
Recipe Used:
- 2 Solid Tweed/Heathered Yarns
- Solid Color Ribbing (MC)
- Garter Ridge (MC)
- Continuous Colorwork
- Garter Ridge (CC)
- Solid Color Ribbing (CC)
Enjoy customizing your own Geometric Cowls – I can’t wait to see the results!
