Sometimes that perfect yarn is just that…perfect. The simple texture of the yarn needs nothing more than a hint of detail in the knitted fabric. Inspired by the simple beauty of Andean Dawn Alpacas and Farm, this cowl uses the barest of textures to highlight the beauty of the yarn itself against the stockinette stitch background.

Looking for some stylish warmth, look no further than this mitts and headband set, knit at tight gauge for just the right amount of warmth.

The Brookfield cowl is knit in the round and uses just one skein of yarn. The wide cable panel is fun with out being tricky and is set against a textured background.

Life is about fun and what’s more fun than blowing bubbles? The stitch pattern I used reminded me of just that!
