Alpenglow
Introducing the Alpenglow Cowl, a versatile and stylish accessory perfect for any knitting enthusiast. This beautiful long cowl can be worn open for a laid-back look or double-wrapped around the neck for added warmth and coziness. Inspired by the stunning Rocky Mountains that surround my home in Colorado, Alpenglow features a modern chevron lace pattern that adds a touch of flair to your wardrobe, making it an ideal project for both beginner and experienced knitters alike.
Crafted with just one skein of my exquisite, hand-dyed Luna Grey Fiber Arts Zeta yarn, Alpenglow offers a super soft, silky finish with an incredible drape and a subtle luster. This luxurious yarn not only enhances the beauty of the cowl but also ensures that it feels amazing against your skin. Perfect for chilly days, the Alpenglow Cowl is designed to keep you warm while staying stylish.
The Alpenglow Cowl is knit in the round using circular needles, which makes the construction easy and enjoyable. To minimize edge curling, the first and last four rounds of the pattern are knitted in a cozy garter stitch. The chevron lace pattern is not only visually striking but also easy to memorize, allowing you to create this stunning accessory quickly and efficiently. For knitters who tend to knit loosely, you have several options to ensure the perfect fit: opt for a smaller needle size, cast on fewer stitches in multiples of 8, or simplify the garter edging by doing just two rows instead of four. Additionally, you can make the cowl wider by simply joining a second skein of Zeta yarn and adding 14 more rounds of the chevron pattern for a bolder look.
Elevate your knitting skills and wardrobe with the Alpenglow Cowl—a must-have pattern for any knitting collection! With its unique design inspired by nature and its luxurious yarn, this cowl is sure to become your favorite accessory. Whether you’re gifting it to a loved one or treating yourself, the Alpenglow Cowl is a beautiful expression of creativity and warmth that you won’t want to miss.
