Katniss Cowl with Vest
Immerse yourself in the world of creative knitting with our captivating pattern inspired by the stunning knitwear from the second installment of the Hunger Games series, *Catching Fire*. If you’ve been searching for a standout piece to add to your wardrobe, look no further! This design features a remarkable blend of a chunky cowl and a one-arm vest, perfect for those who love unique and fashionable knitwear. As soon as I laid eyes on Katniss's amazing outfit, I was inspired to craft my own version. I decided to tailor it to be more fitted, enhancing the silhouette while keeping the cowl cozy yet wearable. What makes this piece special is its intentionally rough and chunky aesthetic; this means that you don’t need to worry about having perfectly uniform stitches—imperfection adds to its charm!
This versatile, one-size design comfortably fits a standard Medium/Large Women’s top or a Large/Extra Large Junior’s top. You'll love how easy it is to adapt it to your personal style! The pattern is designed for use with circular knitting needles, specifically a 47" cable, which gives this piece an effortless flow and drape. While there's a small crochet element involved, don't let that intimidate you! If you can knit, the crochet part will seamlessly integrate into your project and will be a breeze to complete.
Here are the essential finished measurements:
- Width across top of cowl: 15 ½”
- Width across shoulder openings: 19”
- Height at the longest point (from bottom edge at right hip to top of cowl): 21”
- Height from right shoulder opening to bottom edge at right hip: 14 ½”
Your knitting journey begins with the following gauge: 4 inches = 9 stitches using size 13 needles (yarn gauge). With this pattern, you'll not only create a stunning piece of knitwear, but you'll also gain valuable experience and build your knitting skills. Perfect for fashion-forward individuals and knitters of all levels looking to create a breathtaking, on-trend garment inspired by the unbeatable style of the Hunger Games!
