Wintersilk

Ever since making Rinde, I have been in love with textured single loop cowls. Warm yet not bulky, they snug into your coat without gaping, and never give you that ‘turtleneck choke-hold’ feel!
The Winter Silk Cowl comes in two lengths, for those knitters who share my love for single cowl snuggliness, as well as those of you who prefer the double-wrapped infinity look.
This cowl is worked in the round using a deep, cushy stitch pattern that looks like it consists of two distinct layers of fabric. I-cord cast on and bind off complete an elegant, finished look.

A quick one skein project for her or him, this neckwarmer is the best option for those that want a scarf for their neck but won’t have the time (or the patience) to knit a loooong scarf. Me, for example. Perfect for last minute gifts.

The slip stitch pattern works wonders on those slightly variegated or hand painted yarns as it breaks up any pooling and adds textural interest and the nifty pull through makes sure the finished Nocturne in M stays put and won’t slide or fall off![/x_text][x_line][x_text class=”right-text “]Nocturne in M legt sich weich um den Hals wie eine leise sanfte Melodie. Schnell gestrickt aus einem Strang, für alle die gerne einen weichen Schal um den Nacken möchten, aber vielleicht die nötige Zeit nicht haben um einen langen Schal zu stricken, oder die Geduld fehlt, wie bei mir :). Perfekt auch als Geschenk in letzter Minute!

Die Anleitung eignet sich besonders für handgefärbtes Garn, da das Hebemaschenmuster die Farbenvariationen gut zur Geltung bringt und durch die praktische Lasche bleibt der Nocturne in M auch da wo er hin gehört, am Hals, wo man ihn braucht.[/x_text][/x_column][x_column bg_color=”” type=”2/3″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_text]Yarn

Rundgestrickt, mit spannendem Zopfmuster und aus extra

zum Strand zieht, ist dieser Cowl ein perfekter Begleiter!
Das Muster taucht und windet sich wie Seemannsknoten und
Tauschlingen, während das sanfte Garn den Nacken mit einer
Wärme umgibt, die der Wind nicht wegblasen kann.

C’est le col idéal pour une petite marche d’hiver le long de
l’eau, quand l’océan est perlé d’écume blanche et que le
vent vous pousse sur la plage.
Ses torsades et noeuds comme des cordages enveloppent
votre cou que le vent ne peut plus atteindre.
Travaillé en rond avec une laine choisie pour sa belle définition
