Moire Cowl
Moire Cowl is engineered for Gusto Wool’s Carmen yarn. It’s crucial to start at a point where the colors change, get the exact gauge and knit flat for the pooling to work as pictured.
Moire Cowl takes advantage of Carmen’s half-and-half speckle and solid, achieving a 2-color brioche look with only one skein. Columns of brioche rib in reverse colors flow into each other, creating wavy color pooling effects in the middle. Lines of syncopated stitches add subtle texture every few rows.
Selvedge stitches make seaming easier - every 1st stitch of the row is knit through the back loop, and every last stitch slipped with yarn in front for neat edges. Leaving out the last few repeats while seaming to create a notch helps the narrow cowl sit lower for more coverage.
Materials: 1 skein Gusto Wool Carmen, shown in #1410
Dimensions: 19.75’’/50 cm x 14’’/36 cm height
Needles: US 4/3.50 mm or size needed to obtain gauge
Notions: Tapestry needle
Gauge: 20 sts x 31.5 rows in Brioche Rib St; blocked, relaxed = 4’’/10 cm square; exact gauge is crucial to achieve the same 2-color brioche pooling effect
Skills: Brioche beginner-friendly pattern.
The techniques involved are: knitting flat, stockinette stitch, selvedge stitches - knitting stitches through the back loop, brioche knit and brioche purl stitches, sl1yo stitch, mattress stitch seaming.
