Aimée Cowl

I have already mentioned how much I likeVickie Howell Sheep(ish) yarn by Caron! The perfect roving that mix acrylic and wool and enhance the stitches. The color pallete is perfect! And the price is spectacular!

I started to swatch with different colors, looking for an elegant curvy horizontal shape and the Aimée Cowl came up! I love the way that the stitch motif creates volumes and depressions that simulate cables! And the I-cord Finishing puts everything pretty well together! I hope that you appreciate this fast knitting project!

Notes

The project starts with a provisional cast-on, knitted straight and sewn at the end.

Slip the first stitch from every row. This will make easier to pick up stitches for the I-cord finishing at both sides of Aimée Cowl.

The last row must to be the RS 27^th of the chart.

After sewing, there’s an I-Cord finishing at both sides of the circumference.

The blocking is optional (the sample wasn’t blocked).
