au naturel
Although the shop is full of beautiful colors, sometime it's the natural hues that call out to me. When we got the Bio Wool by Borgo d'Pazzi, I knew right away that l wanted to make something to show off its five undyed colors ... and that's how au nature/came tobe.
Materials Bio Wool by Borgo d'Pazzi (90m/50g): 1 one ball of each color 1(off white) 2 (ecru) 3 (hazelnut) 4 (chestnut) 5 (chocolate) Circular needles 4mm/100cm and 5mm/100cm A stitch marker A tapestry needle
Tips:
The cowl is knit seamlessly, but not really in the round since w ego back and forth on the circular needle. This may be a bit confusing at first, but the structure is easy to understand once you are knitting it. The decreases always involve one stitch from the triangle/rectangle you are knitting and one from the following triangle/rectangle. Gauge 17stsx23rows = 10x10cm Glossary K = knit P = purl RS = right side WS = wrong side sl1 = slip 1 stitch purlwise p2tog = purl 2 stitches together ssk = slip 1 stitch knitwise and 1 stitch purlwise, go into the front of those stitches with the left needle and knit them together.
