My newly released Blue Jean Cowl is now available!
The Blue Jean Cowl uses knits, purls and 2-stitch twists in an all over texture. No cables or cable needle needed!
Although the texture looks complicated, the pattern repeat is easy to work. The Blue Jean Cowl is extra-long for a draped-scarf feel. This pattern was originally published in I Like Knitting magazine. The rights have released back to me, so I’m now free to rework and publish the pattern!
Although the texture looks complicated, the pattern repeat is easy to work. I really enjoyed working with the lovely Rowan Denim Revive yarn for this pattern. The sample cowl is worked in the color 211 Bluewash on size 5 needles for this project exactly as indicated on the ball band. I love the sustainability of repurposing and recycling old jeans like this into yarn.
Designer’s Tip: To finish this cowl I did a simple spray block. First I laid the finished dry cowl out flat on a towel. Then I sprayed it on both sides with room temperature distilled water until it was thoroughly damp. Finally with a tape measure I gently tugged and pulled the cowl into the size I wanted. The dampness from the spray plus some gentle pulling was all it took for the yarn to bloom and soften.
The Blue Jean Cowl is available through Ravelry and LoveCrafts!
