Rowan eBook by Dagmar Mora
Overview
This intermediate-level knitting eBook from independent designer Dagmar Mora contains instructions for three distinct projects: a cowl, mittens, and slippers. Each design showcases thoughtful construction techniques and stitch work suitable for knitters with foundational skills looking to expand their repertoire.
Rowan Cowl
The Rowan Cowl is a thick and warm cowl designed to provide comfort during cool weather months. The design draws inspiration from nature, specifically the distinctive pinnate leaf structure of the Rowan tree, which displays vibrant autumn colors. The name Rowan references the proto-Germanic word raudnian, meaning "getting red," making it an apt choice for a garment intended to keep you warm on chilly autumn days.
Finished Dimensions: Women's Medium size measures 16.5 x 59 cm (6½ x 23¼ inches), with the design allowing for adjustments to accommodate different sizes.
Materials Required: The Rowan Cowl uses 80g of worsted or aran weight yarn, totaling approximately 140 meters or 155 yards. Five buttons, each measuring approximately 2cm (¾ inch) in diameter, are required for closure or embellishment.
Tools and Tension: Construction requires 5mm (US 8) needles, or whichever size is needed to obtain proper tension. The pattern specifies two different tension gauges: 16 stitches and 21 rows over a 10x10 cm (4x4 inch) square in stocking stitch, and 24 stitches and 21 rows over the same measurement in the pattern stitch.
Stitch Techniques: The cowl features a distinctive leaf-pattern stitch that mimics the pinnate leaf structure of the Rowan tree. The pattern is worked flat from written row-by-row instructions, with a charted version also provided for visual reference. The center leaf pattern repeats throughout the design, creating visual interest and texture.
Construction Method: The cowl begins with a cast-on of 39 stitches and is worked flat, allowing for straightforward construction and button integration into the finished piece.
