Cinnamon
-a cozy little cowl with a wavy pattern
I think that large scarves that go several rounds around your neck are really cool, but with some coats they just don't work. Then this quick knit little softy can be perfect! And with a lovely wave pattern in gorgeous colours, it brightens up the gloomiest of fall days. The yarn , Filcolana Cinnia, is so softhat you just have to knit something that you wear next to the skin. I used Maria Carlanders lovely wave-chart from the hat "Sma vagor", and have her permission to publish it in thispattern.
Pattern
yarn: Filcolana Cinnia, 100% merino wool, 4 different colours needle: circular 4 mm/ US 6, length 40 cm/ 16" or dpn's 4 mm/ US 6 gauge: 23 sts per 10 cm/ 4" in st st note: When the loose strands are 7 sts long, wrap the unused yarn in the back of the work to secure the loose strand. directions: CO 96 sts with colour 1 on a circular needle or dpn:s, pm at the beginning of round and work in the round, 2x2 rib (k2 p2) for 8 rnds. Continue working stst with colour 1 six rounds, and thereafter according to the chart with colour 1 and 2. When you have worked the whole chart once, cut ofthe yarn in colour 1 and continue working stst 5 rnds with colour 2 before you work the chart one more time, with colour 2 and 3. Continue working this way until you've knit the chart with the two last colours. Continue working stst with the fourth (and last) colour for 7 rounds (=8 rnds of stst in one colour), and then work 2x2 rib for 8 rounds.
