Product Description
Delicate and graceful, the Stitches in Time Cowl is a mesmerising modern take on lace inspired by cable knitting.
It is knit in the round with a British moss stitch (seed stitch) border around the bottom (cast on) and top (cast off) edges.
The finished size after blocking is 12” (30.5cm) tall by width circumference 38” (96.5cm). The cowl can be made narrower or wider by completing less or more repeats of the lace chart.
The photographed sample was knit with 2.5mm (1.5US) straight needles (or 24” (60cm) circular) and 1 ball of The Yarn Collective Portland Lace (100% wool; 941 yards 860 meters/100 grams) in Sheepish (201); however, any other lace weight yarn suits this design.
The pattern includes a chart for the lace work.
Enjoy and happy knitting!
Stitches in Time Cowl by MunroSisters3
What is Being Made
The Stitches in Time Cowl is a knitted neck cowl designed by Fiona Munro from MunroSisters3. This is a one-size cowl that measures 12 inches (30.5 centimeters) in height with a finished circumference of 38 inches (96.5 centimeters), making it suitable for wearing as a versatile neckwear accessory. The cowl can be customized in width by adjusting the cast-on stitches in increments of 22 stitches to the base pattern of 264 cast-on stitches, allowing crafters to create wider or narrower versions according to personal preference.
Techniques Used
This knitting project employs circular knitting techniques, worked on circular needles to create a seamless tubular fabric. The pattern incorporates wet blocking as a finishing technique to achieve precise measurements and shape. Crafters will need to weave in ends using a tapestry needle to complete the cowl. The design allows for customization through stitch count adjustments, enabling knitters to modify the width while maintaining the pattern structure through repeat adjustments.
Stitches Used
The Stitches in Time Cowl features a lace pattern as its primary stitch work. The pattern is constructed using repeats that are divisible by 22 stitches, creating an intricate openwork design characteristic of lace knitting. The gauge for this project is 28 stitches and 46 rows per 4 inches (10 centimeters) when worked in the lace pattern, which is essential for achieving the correct finished dimensions.
Materials and Yarn
The Stitches in Time Cowl requires approximately 700 meters (766 yards) of lace weight yarn. The sample featured in the pattern was knitted using one skein of Portland Lace from The Yarn Collective, a 100% wool yarn weighing 100 grams with 860 meters (941 yards) per skein, in the Sheepish colorway (201). Knitters have flexibility in yarn selection, as the pattern accommodates various yarn weights including 3-ply, 4-ply, cobweb, lace, and sport weight yarns, provided the correct gauge is maintained.
Needles and Tools
This project calls for 2.5mm (US size 1.5) circular needles measuring 60 centimeters (24 inches) in length, or needles sized to obtain the specified gauge. A tapestry needle is required for weaving in yarn ends during the finishing process.
Difficulty Level
The Stitches in Time Cowl is rated as a beginner level project, making it accessible to knitters who are new to the craft while still offering the opportunity to develop skills in circular knitting and lace pattern work.
