Wednesdays Are For Knitting: Gradient Cowl

March 11, 2020 By Carole

I am pleased to say that I have a finished hand knit to show you today. It’s actually been finished for a few weeks but I didn’t get it blocked until yesterday after work. Funny how the demand for something to blog about pushed me to the finish line on this one.

Anyway. It’s a cowl knit with a gradient kit I bought from Kim at Fiber Revival a few years back.

I followed the pattern called Gradient Cowl Recipe and I just knit those rows until I ran out of each color.

This yarn is so yummy! It’s part cashmere and merino, I think. I don’t have the exact information and I’m not sure it’s available anymore but like all of Kim’s yarns the colors are gorgeous.

It’s maybe a little . . . taller (is that the right word for a cowl?) than it needs to be but it’s so soft and I think it will scrunch up beautifully around the neck, like a hug from me for someone I love.

And isn’t that exactly what a hand knit should be?

    Lovely colors and I bet it feels even better! I kind of hope we have some more weather chilly enough for you to wear it this season.

    Oh wow! That looks lovely! And, the perfect thing for chilly spring days!

    Ooh, Carole, I love it! If I remember correctly, I think that yarn is all Cashmere. I didn’t have a lot of it, but it definitely was scrumptious. What a beautiful pattern to show it off!

    So gorgeous! And if it’s from Kim’s yarn, it’s soooo soft and squishy!

    That will be one beautiful hug Carole! Love the colors!

    Lovely! It looks like my much loved Habitation Throw, but to wear – great pattern idea.

    Gorgeous finish Carole. I love the colors and it looks both rich and soft. A hug indeed (great way to describe it). Thanks for the pattern link too. I may have some yarns in the stash that will work!

    It’s beautiful and I can only imagine how divine it must feel around your neck! I think those tall cowls are useful when it’s really cold or blustery and you want it to also cover your head.

  10. Becky says

    Oh, Carole, I love those colors, and it sounds so comforting and soft. Can a soft cowl be too long or tall? I don’t think so as long as you can still breathe and talk!

  11. Mary says

    March 11, 2020 at 6:34 pm

    oh YUMMMMM!! I think a tall cowl is a lot easier to wear than a big shawl. and those colors … swoon!

  12. Kym says

    March 12, 2020 at 7:54 am

    It’s really lovely, Carole! Like Mary, I think a “tall” cowl is super easy to wear — and I can imagine how soft and luxurious it must feel in Kim’s yarn. Perfection! XO

    Gorgeous! Pretty sure I have a gradient set that would be perfect for that. Why are those mini sets so appealing and then so hard to find the perfect project for them?

    Beautiful! Love the colors and it will look fantastic on you!

  15. margene says

    Tall makes a cozy cowl! The yarn is soft and lovely against the neck, which is perfect for coziness, too. Kim’s yarn is just the nicest!

    We need to see it modeled!

    Love those colors!
