Inspired by “My Beloved Cohansie,” a series of journal entries penned by Philip Vickers Fithian—a 1700s patriot and minister from Greenwich, New Jersey—this pattern encapsulates the essence of life in his quaint village and along the picturesque Cohansie River. My husband and I often retreat to this serene haven, away from the hustle and bustle of New York City, and it’s clear that not much has changed since Fithian's time, save for the occasional pirate sightings. The natural beauty of the Cohansie remains timeless, much like the craft of knitting.

The stitch pattern of Cohansie evokes the gentle ripples and currents of the river, perfectly complemented by the luxurious Fleece Artist Woolie Silk yarn in the enchanting Salt Spray colorway. This vibrant hue captures the mood and tranquility of the flowing water as it meanders through the landscape.

This elegant piece is knit from the bottom up in a seamless design, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. The sleeves effortlessly join the body at the yoke, ensuring no seams except for a minimal finishing touch. Whether you are an experienced knitter or a dedicated beginner, the Cohansie pattern offers both challenge and delight. Experience the meditative rhythm of turning yarn into beauty while celebrating a rich historical tapestry with each stitch. Dive into your next knitting adventure today with the Cohansie pattern!
