Cavandish Peak
Discover the beauty of the Cavendish Peak knitting pattern, featuring a deceptively simple yet stunning texture pattern and elegant stripes that will elevate your knitting projects. This versatile pattern is originally designed for fingering weight yarn but can be easily adjusted to accommodate different yarn types, giving you the flexibility to create a unique piece tailored to your preferences. However, do keep in mind that altering the yarn weight may affect your overall yardage requirements.
For this project, we recommend using Madelinetosh Merino Light yarn in fingering weight, known for its luxurious feel and vibrant colorways. You'll need a pair of US size 7 (4.50 mm) needles, or whichever size you prefer to achieve the specified gauge.
The gauge for this pattern is 18.0 stitches per 4 inches, ensuring that your finished piece will fit beautifully. You will need a total of 800 yards of yarn: 400 yards of your chosen Main Color and an additional 400 yards of Contrast Color to create that eye-catching striped effect.
Once completed, the Cavendish Peak will measure approximately 23 inches by 88 inches, making it an ideal accessory for any season, perfect for draping over your shoulders or layering for added warmth. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this pattern promises a satisfying crafting experience with a gorgeous finished product that will surely be a conversation starter.
