<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Today Scheepjes has released my new Weathered Cowl pattern<\/a> as one of their After Party Booklets. Like my\u00a0Night Watch Cowl<\/a>, this is designed using Scheepjes Sweetheart Soft<\/a> to create the most amazingly soft lining. The outer cowl is made using the fair isle technique in two coordinating colours of Scheepjes Spirit<\/a> yarn. This is the perfect cowl for those of you who enjoy crisp winters and like spending time outdoors. Whether it’s for keeping warm while walking the dog, for your kids to go sledding or a gift for your favourite ski enthusiast, this cowl is sure to keep you and your loved ones warm and cozy.<\/p>\n This example is knitted using Scheepjes Spirit<\/a>\u00a0using one ball each in the colours\u00a0311 Butterfly<\/strong> and\u00a0302 Wolf<\/strong> for the outer cowl and one ball of\u00a0Sweetheart Soft<\/a> in 02 Light Grey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You can see that the pattern is visible but the the variation in each of the colours of the yarn give it a ‘Weathered’ look, which I love. Much like other similar yarns in the Scheepjes line, like Stone Washed and River Washed, the Spirit has a soft fuzz which gives the outer cowl it’s own softness and texture.<\/p>\n If you aren’t into the weathered look, that’s fine too. It looks absolutely fab in solid colours as well, which show off the fair isle pattern more strongly.<\/p>\n This swatch was knit using two of the new single colours of Scheepjes Our Tribe<\/a> in colourways 877 Raspberry Radiance<\/strong> and\u00a0882 Blue Flower Haze<\/strong>, which I think is perfect for this project. The yarn is similar in weight and with it being 70% Merino it’s incredibly soft and warm! I haven’t done a swatch but I also imagine combinations of the self-striping Our Tribe (see the colour swatches I did for the colours here<\/a>!) and these solid colours would be great as well. Lots of possibilities!<\/p>\n This cowl is knit in two sections, the inner and outer cowl which are both knit separately in the round and then assembled at the end. The final result is a warm and soft neck warmer that will sit nicely on your neck while still having the stretch needed to get it on and off comfortably.<\/p>\n As you can see, there are many great colour combinations to be had between the Spirit and Sweetheart Soft yarns…<\/p>\n You can purchase the pattern in booklet form from any Scheepjes stockist<\/a>, or buy it as an instant PDF here on Ravelry<\/a>!<\/p>\n If you want to pick up some of these yarns to make this project for yourself or loved one, here is some info on buying options:<\/p>\n UK and International customers can find the yarns at\u00a0Woolwarehouse<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Black Sheep Wools<\/a>.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.canadutch.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/21.-Scheepjes-Weathered-Cowl-6-600x600.jpg\")

<\/p>\n<\/i>\n\t\t\tThe pattern was created to be very easy to adjust, with a chart that matches both from side to side and top to bottom. So if you wanted to make a smaller version for a child, make it taller, shorter or go crazy and make the squishiest of infinity cowls, it’s as simple as adding or removing repeats of the chart!\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.canadutch.nl\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/21.-Scheepjes-Weathered-Cowl-4-600x600.jpg\")
