Don’t get me wrong, we all love a challenge from time to time. But there’s nothing wrong with going for the easier option every now and again.
If you have always admired the look of colourwork but felt slightly intimidated by it I know exactly how you feel. The thought of having to hold two strands of yarn at the same time, not to mention following a complex chart can be enough to make the bravest of souls think twice.
But this cunning, slip stitch pattern avoids the need for all that and creates a lovely intricate texture whilst only holding 1 strand of yarn per round.
Ideal for stashbusting too
The yarn I used for this sample is the beautiful West Yorkshire Spinners Fable Brushed Aran - a beautiful, slightly fuzzy blend of wool, alpaca and mohair.
But the entire, single-loop cowl only takes 80g aran weight yarn - making it perfect for using up those leftovers in your stash
