Breckenridge Cowl by Melynda Bernardi
What Is Being Made
The Breckenridge Cowl is a one-size-fits-all cowl pattern designed by Melynda Bernardi of French Press Knits, LLC. This is an instant-gratification knit project that can be completed in a single evening, making it ideal for last-minute gifts or quick accessory additions to any wardrobe. The cowl features a classic tubular construction with decorative cable and seed stitch elements throughout.
Craft and Primary Technique
This pattern is a knitting project suitable for advanced knitters. The Breckenridge Cowl incorporates multiple knitting techniques working in tandem to create visual interest and texture. The design combines fundamental stitch patterns with more complex cable work, requiring knitters to be comfortable managing multiple stitch types within the same project.
Stitches Used
The Breckenridge Cowl utilizes the following stitches and techniques:
- Seed stitch: Forms the borders and foundation of the cowl, creating a textured, reversible fabric. The seed stitch pattern is maintained throughout the start, finish, and entire border of the design.
- Cable stitches: Two primary cable techniques are featured:
- C5F (Cable 5 Front): Slip 3 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at front, knit 2 stitches, slip the purl stitch back onto the left-hand needle and purl it, then knit 2 stitches from the cable needle
- C5B (Cable 5 Back): Slip 3 stitches onto a cable needle and hold at back, then work the remaining stitches before completing the cable from the cable needle
- Knit and purl stitches: Combined in various sequences to create the pattern structure and texture variation
Materials Required
To complete the Breckenridge Cowl, knitters will need:
- Yarn: Approximately 90 yards of super bulky weight yarn. The pattern is pictured using 2 skeins of Blue Sky Alpaca Bulky yarn, though any super bulky yarn of similar weight and yardage will work
- Needles: Size US 15 (10mm) knitting needles
- Accessories: One cable needle for executing the cable stitches
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as advanced, reflecting the cable work and stitch pattern management required. While the project itself works up quickly, knitters should have solid foundational skills and experience with cable techniques before beginning.
