Cashmere Perle
Understated and elegant, this cowl simply slips over your head and hugs your neck, just like a beautiful strand of pearls. Our sample was knit holding two strands of Plucky sport weight cashmere together. And, needle sizes were changed to create a fabric with just the right amount of drape.
YARN
• Plucky Cashmere Sport Weight, 100% cashmere;
285 yds, 2 skeins
Colorway shown: High Cotton.
Or use any Worsted weight 250 yds.
Note: Yarn held double throughout.
MATERIALS
• The needle size for this project gradually increases,
beginning with the smallest size, on a 16” or 24”
circular needle; 7, 8, 9, 10, & 10.5
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch marker
GAUGE
• 20st/4in in pattern on a size 8 needle;
exact gauge isn’t critical.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
• 18” circumference and the top is 16”
and gradually moves to 22.5”
This afternoon I was informed that this pattern is similar to another pattern Snuggle Cowl that was published recently. Please know it’s a complete coincidence.
While there are similarities (that great stitch pattern!) there are differences in gauge/yarn usage/shape. Please be assured that the concept was authentic and original. One can never have too many cowls and I do believe there are differences between the two patterns and encourage you to try them both on for size!
