A new pattern has dropped today! Inclinations Cowl is the latest design by Andrea Mowry for Spincycle. It is the same shape as the Shift, with similar fun color play resulting from the two contrasting colors of Dyed in the Wool. The cowl features Fisherman’s Rib and a squishy texture that is a dream to wear. It is knit flat sideways, on the bias, and then seamed up the back neck after blocking.
We’ve put together some color ideas for you and also complete kits in the original colors: “Light-Years” & “Valley Girl” Dyed in the Wool.
Yarnista color pairings:
Materials needed:
- 2 skeins each of Dyed in the Wool, sport weight, 100% superwash American Wool, 200 yards per skein.
- Size US 2/2.75 mm (24”/60 cm circular needle or longer, recommended) Cord length is not crucial since this piece is worked flat. (Use the needle size you need to achieve gauge.)
- Scissors, tapestry needle and a row counter is recommended
- The pattern is sold separately and can be found on Ravelry or at dreareneeknits.com
