Cowl for Johan

I`ve knitted a cowl for my youngest son, Johan.

My to other children LOVES wool, they can even sleep in it!

But Johan is ANTI, ANTI wool...

So when Siw at Quiltegaarden got Rowans: wool cotton blend,  in her yarn collection...

I had to try it...

I made a deal with Johan....

I would knit for HIM.... and he would wear it...

Now the cowl is done, but it still waits for it`s owner...

Yarn: Rowans wool cotton

(50%merino woll, 50%cotton)

Pins: 4

Used 47 grams, 106 meters.

All the best hk

After the summer holidays Siw at Quiltegaarden got a small Japanese knittingpatternbook in the shop.

a strap with lenses sewn together at the end.

Àlafoss Lopi

Have anyone had a look at Quiltegaardens yarn blog post?

Did you see the knitted sweater in the back?

I knitted the model for Siw to keep in the shop.

Not the best hairday! But the sweater is wonderful to wear.

 It is a Järbo design number 90299 made from Àlafoss Lopi yarn.

I used pins number 4,5 and 6. The sweater is size M.

I used less yarn then the pattern suggested. JUHU!

Siw has this yarn in a large color range in the store.

The inside, pretty cool....

Nicely twisted...

All the best hk
