Asticou Cowl Sneak Peek

My next pattern that is waiting to be published is the Asticou Cowl.

This is a beginner version of the Romney Ridge Cowl. The main stitch pattern is very similar, but this pattern uses only one color of yarn, and has a cast-on edge and bind off at the finish rather than the provisional cast on and kitchener grafting that the Romney Ridge Cowl uses.

The pattern is being test knit and tech edited, and will be available for download soon!

Romney Ridge Cowl

I  am very excited to announce that the pattern for my Romney Ridge Cowl has now been published.

You can find the pattern for sale on ravelry and etsy. The design uses 2 colors of Romney Ridge Farm Blend, and it uses about 1/2 skein of each color - so this yarn will give you enough yardage to make 2 cowls.

This reversible cowl starts with a provisional cast on and is then knit in two sections of color. The wrong sides of the fabric are then folded together and the ends are grafted together. This results in a reversible cowl with a bit of contrast and the same pattern inside and out.

The provisional cast on and kitchener stitch make it an intermediate level knit, but there will soon be a one-sided version that is suitable for beginners. You can check out my video on how I make sense of the kitchener stitch on my YouTube channel in this video:

Welcome to my World on a String!

I have changed my business name from Elisha Cram Designs to World On A String Designs. It's just so cute and fun, inspired in part by the Frank Sinatra song.

Here is a sneak peek at my newest design, the Romney Ridge cowl...

It's a cowl pattern worked in 2 colors, and it's reversible. I love how the colors contrast, and it has the same pattern inside and out. Stay posted for updates. It should be released for sale in the next week, and I will update here when it's available!

Here it is! Romney Ridge Cowl
