The Katrine Cowl is knitted in the round on circular needles. The stitch pattern is “Barley Sugar”, why that name? I don’t know. The yarn is Rowan Colourscape again. I do love the colours in the Colourscape range and because the cowl is a tube it can be worn with the mauve next to the face instead of the turquoise which makes this a versatile piece in a wardrobe.

The pattern includes information on knitting in the round and with stripes.

The buy now link enables one to purchase without being a member of Ravelry.

Quick and easy – knit in the round. The black beanie is knit with k1 p1 rib and then stocking stitch on the crown. The blue one was k2 p2 rib all the way and also knit in the round.

Seems odd to expect 8 year olds to wear black beanies and gloves to school when the uniform is a great blue. But I guess black shoes, socks and shorts need black beanies and gloves. Anyway it is done now and his ears are warm.

I am working on Viggos beanie while away this weekend and then I will be back to my skirt and top in various cottons.

I love knitting skirts and this one was delivered to Angelica in Switzerland last week and has already travelled to Prague to be photographed.

The yarn is Bombay from Katia and is lovely to work with and the colours are gorgeous. This pattern will become available – probably after we return to New Zealand as there is too much to manage right now. It will available in 3 lengths.

Bombay is 100% Mercerized Cotton.
