Product Description
Cowl final size: approx. 50”/125cm circumference and 8.5”/22cm high Hat final size: approx. 22”/55 cm circumference - above the ribbing, 9.5”/24cm high- from ribbing to top
These are two patterns, one is for a cowl, one is for a hat. Both are worked in the round and using the Fair-Isle knitting technique. Make sure there this enough contrast between your two shades! Take a black and white photo of them to see if their colour value is different enough for the pattern to show clearly. This infinity-mobius shawl is very interesting! There is a twist when you knit it but when you put it to your neck twice, there is no twist anymore and always the right sides are up on both layers.
Marlowe Infinity Set by Nikolett Corley Designs
Project Overview
The Marlowe Infinity Set is a coordinating knit collection designed by Nikolett Corley Designs, featuring two complementary pieces: an infinity cowl and a matching hat. This intermediate-level knitting project uses DK weight yarn in a two-color colorway, creating a sophisticated accessory set perfect for cooler seasons.
What Is Being Made
This pattern includes instructions for creating two distinct garments:
- Marlowe Infinity Cowl: A generous loop cowl measuring approximately 50 inches (125 cm) in circumference and 8.5 inches (22 cm) in height, designed to be worn draped around the neck with the fabric creating an infinity loop effect
- Marlowe Hat: A fitted hat with a circumference of approximately 22 inches (55 cm) measured above the ribbing, designed to coordinate with the cowl
Techniques and Construction Methods
Both pieces in the Marlowe Infinity Set are constructed using circular knitting needles, which allows for seamless, in-the-round knitting. The pattern employs a two-color knitting approach, incorporating the dark chocolate and winter white colorways of Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light yarn throughout the designs. The use of different needle sizes—US 2.5/3mm and US 5/3.75mm—indicates that the pieces likely feature ribbed sections (typically worked on smaller needles for elasticity) and stockinette stitch sections (worked on larger needles for drape and smoothness).
Stitches Used
The primary stitch structure includes stockinette stitch, which creates the smooth, classic knit fabric visible on the main body of both the cowl and hat. The pattern also incorporates ribbing, typically used for the hat's cuff and potentially for edge definition on the cowl. These fundamental stitches are combined to create texture, structure, and a professional finish suitable for an intermediate knitter.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Marlowe Infinity Set calls for Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light yarn in two colorways: 3 skeins of 4205 dark chocolate and 2 skeins of 4201 winter white. Each skein weighs 1.75 ounces (50 grams) and contains 144 yards (133 meters), making this a DK weight yarn. The fiber composition is 50% super fine alpaca and 50% Peruvian wool, providing warmth, softness, and excellent drape.
The pattern requires US 2.5/3mm circular knitting needles and US 5/3.75mm circular knitting needles, both 32 inches (80 cm) in length. Additional materials include stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends.
Gauge and Sizing
The pattern specifies a gauge of 24 stitches by 28 rows over 4 inches (10 centimeters) when working stockinette stitch with US 5/3.75mm needles. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring the finished cowl and hat match the intended dimensions and fit properly.
