Fancy another free pattern? Yes?
OK, but before I reveal all, may I just thank you from the very bottom left corner of my heart for the generous comments that you left regarding the chair. However, I am deeply aggrieved that you’ve all sided with Stoic Spouse about whether or not anyone should sit in the thing.
The twinnage certainly can’t be kept away. Here’s one young man and his car park:-
In all the excitement of the chair, I didn’t get a chance to tell you about another project – one that you might actually want to make. Take a look at this cowl:-
The design came about after I was contacted by Hobbycraft (the major UK craft store chain) and asked to design something for their website. That was last autumn. And with my usual combination of optimism and stupidity, I set to work designing an autumnal project… which was ready shortly after Christmas.
So allow me to introduce the Falling Leaves cowl. The FREE pattern is published on the Hobbycraft website, right HERE.
It’s a stranded knit, but because there are some crazy-long floats, I’ve suggested an alternative way of trapping them.
Talking of cowls, Rainbow Junkie (love the name) has made a beautiful jewel-coloured version of my All That Jazz cowl. Her rather gorgeous version is here on her blog. I love it!
In all my years of knitting, I’ve never knitted a cowl. Looks like your pattern will give me the needed incentive!
That is amazing
Gorgeous! I already have one cowl planned, now it looks like it’ll have a friend!!! Or maybe I could get away with giving it to my dad…hmm…
That is beautiful!
The colours work well together to give a great autumnal look!
That’s got to be the most amazing toy car park in the world! Love your cowl ?
This really makes me want to learn how to knit! It’s beautiful!
What weight of yarn is this, please? I love the cowl! In US, I checked link, but couldn’t figure it out.
It’s double knit, which is at the boundary of sport and worsted weight. Hope this helps!
