Unfold Cowl
Unfold is a little bit of knitting magic.
Inspired by the rich, subtle look of English tweed, this cowl combines the softly shifting colors of Schoppel Zauberball Starke 6 with two strands of Silky Cat mohair held together in contrasting colors. The result is a beautifully nuanced tweed-like fabric with unexpected depth and dimension.
But the real magic happens in the construction. The fabric naturally folds into dramatic, accordion-like pleats that frame the face beautifully when worn as a cowl. When you’re ready for a change, simply pull the cowl down and unfold it to transform it into a graceful shoulder warmer.
Architectural in appearance but wonderfully simple to knit, Unfold requires only three basic techniques: knit, yarn over, and knit two stitches together. It’s an ideal project for a newer knitter looking for something with plenty of visual impact—or for an experienced knitter wanting an uncomplicated project for travel, relaxing, or clearing the palate between more complex adventures.
Simple stitches. Unexpected structure. Two ways to wear it.
Size:
• Neck circumference 23 (26)”
• Bottom circumference 43 (48)”
• Length 25” (unfolded)
Yarn (smaller size will have some left over, larger size will use 99% of yarn):
* 1 ball Zauberball Starke 6 by Schoppel
(75% Superwash Wool, 25% Biodegradable
Nylon) 437 yards per 150 gram ball.
* 2 cakes Silky Cat by Schoppel (70%
Super Kid Mohair, 30% Silk) 218 yards
per 25 gram cake (2 stands held
together).
Sample shown in colors: A=2729, B= 980 (Natur), C=3936 (Ozon) (B & C are held together) and is a 23” neck circumference.
