Pattern Spotlight: Bolero Cowl

Bolero 8

Published in late 2016 the Bolero Cowl combines basic stitches to evoke the lovely slides and twists of the dance.

 

Cables are written and charted. Bolero Cowl is perfect for a quick and easy gift as well as a good introduction to textured knitting.

The Starry Night Cowl uses simple increases and decreases to draw groups of stitches into soft, undulating curves to evoke the wild beauty of the dense clouds of gas and dust in our night sky.

Named Starry Night because the curves also remind me of the swirls in Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Written in two sizes. Cowl uses the same lace as my Nebula Shawl.

The Starry Night Cowl is available at Ravelry now and will be available through WEBS and LoveKnitting later this summer!

I really love this one and have been wearing it more and more as this spring seems to be dragging along. I even wore my April Cowl to show it off at my first ever knitting conference.
