Birthday Cowl

Birthday Cowl

Pattern: Birthday Cowl
Yarn: Dream in Color Classy, In Vino Veritas, less than 1 skein
Needles: US #8 / 16″
Thoughts: The Birthday Cowl is a great (and easy!) pattern. This was my first experience using Dream in Color, and I really like that it has slight variegation without pooling.

Expect to see some more cowls in the weeks ahead! I have already completed a third cowl (yet to be photographed) and I am planning to start a fourth one this weekend…can you tell that I am going cowl crazy over here? And in the midst of 95 degree weather, too!

    Very pretty! However, in this weather, I don’t know how you could stand to put it on to take a modeled shot!

    What a beautiful cowl! :-)

    Despite the fact that they’re months away from being worn or enjoyed, cowls really are the perfect summertime knit, because they’re so small. No lapful of yarn to make you sweat. ;-)

    cowls appear to be addictive! we may all have to start a cowls anonymous for all the addicted knitters out there :)

    It’s lovely! I love Dream in Color. Now I want to get more to make cowls for winter. Thanks for the inspiration!

    very pretty!! i can see how cowls would be addictive, and even though it’s a winter accessory, it’s a perfect summer knit (small, portable, light) =)

    i love those slanting knits! i just finished a cowl, too, but it’ll be a while before i can blog it.

    I started this one in the same yarn, and couldn’t keep my attention focused, so I ripped back. I wanna try again though - it is so pretty! Yours looks great :)

    Very cool! I can’t find my cowl that I was working on since I moved! Dream in Color looks really nice. I see Knitique sells it, any other place online you’d recommend?

    Ah, that’s my favorite DIC colorway–it looks great in cowl form!
