When I designed my Merrily socks, I loved the simplicity and repetition of the pattern and thought it would be perfect for a cowl.
Introducing.... the Merrily Cowl.
Knit with 2 skeins of Knit Picks Andean Silk, this cowl is just so drapey! I love it! Perfect accessory for spring! This is another design I did for the Knit Picks Independent Designer's Progam (and really, if you haven't, go check out the great designs over there!).
This cowl takes just under 200 yards, so I had to try it out with my new lone skein of Madelinetosh Vintage yarn that I purchased at Stitches. Not quite as drapey as the Andean Silk, but I think the pattern holds up nicely in this yarn too!
Pattern: Merrily
Yarn: ~ 190 yards of worsted weight yarn; shown in 2 skeins of Knit Picks Andean Silk, colorway Hollyberry; also shown in 1 skein of Madelinetosh Vintage, colorway Thyme
Needles: US size 6 (4.0 mm) or size to obtain gauge, DPNs or circular needles
Gauge: 20 sts = 4" over st st
Measurements: 12 1/2" width, 8 1/2" height
You may go directly to the Knit Picks site to purchase the Merrily Cowl pattern. The pattern is only $1.99, the price of all the Independent Designer's Patterns.
You can also purchase the pattern on my ravelry pattern page here

Happy Knitting!

That red... wow. The cowl is amazing, and that read is fantastic.

Lovely - both you and the cowl.

Very pretty! Normally I would head for red first, but that green one is so lovely on you!
Love it!!
Happy Friday! Happy Easter!!
I've seen the green version in person, and believe it or not, it's even prettier than it looks in the pix. You rock!
I love it! Simply beautiful in both colors!
So lovely! Looks beautiful in both yarns. Must be the design.
Very nice!! Especially in the Madelinetosh.
If only our spring didn't feel like summer here already!! 80 degrees on April 1st and 2nd!!
