Issue 264 – Alpaca Sox Cowl
|
|
This week's Web-Letter pattern is a colorful cowl using three different stitch patterns for varied textures. I designed it because my wardrobe often needs a pop of color and this lightweight fun accessory does the trick. I love working with Alpaca Sox but am not a die hard sock knitter, so this cowl was a great opportunity to use this yam. This design would look equally as good in a solid color or in one of the beautiful hand dyed colorways. Enjoy!

The Yarn
Alpaca Sox is spun from a blend of fibers designed to make a comfortable, warm fabric. Alpaca provides warmth and softness, merino adds elasticity and cushion, and a little nylon lends durability.
Alpaca Sox has a unique 2-ply construction: twisted just enough to be durable, but relaxed enough that the alpaca fibers can expand a little and show their halo. The yarn feels lofty and light and is as lovely in shawls, scarves and baby sweaters as it is in socks.
