So glad I can now consider my sister’s Big Herringbone Cowl an FO!
I used Berocco’s Ultra Alpaca and thought it was ok for this knit. Clearly not as drapey when compared to the one I knit for myself using Blue Sky Alpaca’s Organic Cotton due to the cotton’s natural drape characteristics, but a nice cost efficient alternative to the patterns suggested yarn, Blue Sky Alpaca’s Worsted. I only used 1 ball, so this is probably 1/3 the actual size it really should be…
I will admit, I rushed on it yesterday to get it done, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do…
Not my best but again I was dreading this and wanted to get done with it. It’s also not blocked.
Such is life.
I’ve looked at this pattern and considered knitting it before. How did you like working on it?
I have to say I liked it the first time around. By the second time, I was a little over it. But, it is a great cowl pattern, just a little too time consuming. I believe it’s 220 stitches in the round.
You can also see my 2 flubs that I made… Trying to tink the herringbone stitch was troublesome for me…
