Tapestry Cowl Minty Fresh knit with Colinette Jitterbug in Vincent’s Apron & Salty Dog {More}
Here’s another one I knit during October. I loved this cowl when I first saw it, and I thought it would be a great way to use up the Jitterbug I had left over after my Twisted Flower socks. I love this colour combination of the bright teal and mustard yellow, even though it feels a bit too patriotic.
This is a really clever little pattern. It was my first time double-knitting, and although it’s not my favourite technique, I really like the way it’s used here. And the cast-on? Genius. My stitches were a bit uneven at times, and the blocking didn’t even it out completely, but I still love how this turned out. If you’re after something a little bit different, this pattern comes highly recommended.

Cute! Love the pics too, especially the 2nd one.
It looks great! I *love* the Vincent’s Apron color.
I’ve got this in progress and it’s my first time double knitting, too. Not my favorite technique, but if mine comes out half as nice as yours, it’s definitely worth the fuss!
Love the colors – striking!
beautiful – love the colors.
It’s beautiful! I must knit this. but I have to finish my required xmas knits first! Then I’m jumping on the bandwagon!
LOVE that colour combo! I’m a teal nut, but I never thought of mixing it with yellow.
The cowl is fabulous – I am intimidated by the techniques – but this looks like a nice project for some experimenting! Yours is perfect – great colorways!
Me likey! Lots!
