A classic yoked cardigan with a pretty pleated neckline. Sizes range from 32″ to 52″. Suitable for Sport weight or fine DK yarns.
The pattern has two sizes given and two different weights. So you can knit a small cowl that will pull over your head and give a snug, tuck-into-your-coat cowl (like the London Cowling) if you knit the smallest size in the DK. The larger one gives a cowl that you can twist and wrap round twice for warmth / effect. The Chunky yarn will give cowls that are slightly bigger in circumference than the DK ones, measurements given below. We have knitted the cowl in our DK yarn – you will need 2 x 50g balls for the small size and 4 x 50g balls for the large. We have also knitted it in Town End Pure Natural Aran Alpaca and you will need 3 50g balls for the small size. The pattern is easily adapted for any yarn if you knit a tension square first.
Finished measurements: For the DK (and our Aran version) cowl: 58(116)cm / 23(45¾)” circumference, depth 31cm / 12¼”.
Based on our rather dashing Sca Fell Peak hat we give you Jeremy, a super-cute peaked cap for babies and toddlers. In these colours Jeremy is rather masculine, but you could make a lovely girly Jeremy in Ivory with a pink and cream pompom or with a pink bow instead.
Tension: 21 sts and 27 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch in the round on 4mm needles.
Tension for band: 18 sts and 36 rows to 10cm over garter st in the round on 4.5mm nds with yarn held double.
Finished size: 33(37, 41.5)cm / 12½(14½, 16⅓)”.
Yarn: Town End Pure Natural DK Alpaca, or Thames Alpaca Blend DK.
Single colour hat: 1 x 50g ball. 4-colour hat: 1 x 50g ball of each colour, shown in Dark Fawn, Ivory, Light Mid Fawn and Pewter.
4mm and 4.5mm dpns / circular needles, OR the size required to give you the correct tension. It might be easier to knit the Peak on straights or circs, but the rest of the hat is entirely up to your preference for knitting small diameters in the round.
Your preferred needle / latch hook for darning ends in.
.This hat is knitted in the round using colourwork technique in double knit yarn. The instructions contain child, small adult (neat fit) and large (slouchy fit). The illustration shows an optional fur pompom – extra yarn is required to make a pompom.
