Anouk

This is a simple and seamless top-down knitting design, perfect for showcasing the beautiful colored flecks in tweed yarns, particularly Rowan's Felted Tweed. The Anouk pattern features a straight neckline that requires no shaping, although an optional technique is provided for those who wish to use short rows to raise the back neck for added style. You'll need just a small amount of an additional double knitting yarn – primarily for casting off and an optional crochet trim – along with three buttons measuring 1.5 cm in diameter. A 3.5mm crochet hook is also required to create a charming crochet edge around the neck.

The pattern is versatile and can be adapted with any DK yarn that knits to a standard gauge of 22 stitches over 4 cm, making it easy to customize the project to fit your preferences. However, the flecks and texture of Rowan's tweedy yarn truly make this piece stand out in any wardrobe.

The name 'Anouk' is inspired by one of the vibrant characters from one of my favorite novels, "Chocolat" by Joanne Harris, adding a touch of literary charm to your knitting experience. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting, this pattern results in a stylish and unique garment that's sure to turn heads.

Start your knitting journey today with the Anouk pattern, and create a beautiful piece that highlights your skills while embracing the timeless elegance of tweed yarn!
