Feature Pattern of the Week - Knitting the Night Sky
- Posted on
Capricorn Cowl by Luciana Etche,
The Fibre Co. Tundra, colors Boreal & Geysir
Inspired by the beauty of the night sky, The Fibre Co. has launched their latest patterns featuring fabulously soft, smooshy Tundra. The blend of baby alpaca, Merino wool & silk feels amazing to knit. Fun & gratifying, the bulky weight yarn knits up quickly for accessories that can be worn this season.
The Capricorn Cowl by Luciana Etche is a relaxing knit for both beginners & more seasoned knitters. Using two colors of The Fibre Co. Tundra with slipped stitches, the pattern is bold with a bit of whimsy.
The cowl may be worn traditionally around the neck, over the shoulders or as a hood to ward off the winter chill.
Capricorn Cowl Materials:
- Color A: 2 skeins of The Fibre Co. Tundra, sample in Boreal
- Color B: 1 skein of The Fibre Co. Tundra, sample in Geysir
- Size US 11, 24” circular needle (knit bottom-up, in the round)
We are also loving the Sagittarius Set by Anna Daku. The set consists of a hat, cowl & mittens all knit with just 3 skeins of The Fibre Co. Tundra. The pieces feature a twisted stitch motif that looks intricate, but is remarkably simple to work.
Sagittarius Set Materials:
- 3 skeins of The Fibre Co. Tundra to knit the hat, cowl & mittens, sample in Amber Burn
Hat: size US 9 & 10, 16” circular needles + US 10 double point needles - Cowl: size US 8 & 9, 16” circular needles
- Mittens: size US 9 & 10 double point needles
