Curl Curl
Introducing the Curl Curl Cowl: a beautifully crafted piece designed for warmth and style, perfect for chilly days. This cowl is expertly knitted in the round, featuring carefully executed decreases that create a tapered shape to fit snugly around your neck, ensuring maximum warmth and comfort. The project is worked entirely in stocking stitch using luxurious Adagio Mills Alpaca DK/8 ply yarn, giving the cowl a soft and sophisticated finish. The edges are designed to roll up delicately, adding a charming detail to this cozy accessory.
Yarn Details: For this project, you'll need Adagio Mills Alpaca 8 ply yarn, which is made from 100% alpaca fibers. This DK/8 ply weight yarn provides an exquisite softness and warmth, with a generous length of 104 yards (or 95 meters) per 1.75 oz (50 grams) ball. The cowl is showcased in the stunning Sonata colourway, requiring just 2 balls of yarn. In total, the Curl Curl Cowl utilizes approximately 208 yards (190 meters) of yarn, making it an efficient yet stylish project.
Needles & Notions: To create your Curl Curl Cowl, you will need a US 8 / 5 mm circular needle that is 16 inches (40.5 cm) long. If you prefer the magic loop or traveling loop method, you can use a longer circular needle. Alternatively, double-pointed needles can be used for those who enjoy working in smaller rounds. Additionally, gather 5 stitch markers (including one in a contrasting colour) and a yarn needle or crochet hook for weaving in any ends, ensuring a polished final product.
Gauge Information: The recommended gauge for this pattern is 17 stitches and 23 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stocking stitch, knitted in the round, after blocking. While achieving this gauge is not crucial, it is important to note that a different gauge may affect the final size, drape, and amount of yarn required for your masterpiece. Embrace the creative process and enjoy making your own unique Curl Curl Cowl!
