Thank you Wool & Pine for a new cowl pattern. This is the Lite Bright Loop and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.
Lite Bright Loop brings all the playful color blending of our fan-favorite Lite Bright and Extra Lite Bright sweaters into a cozy, wearable cowl. This is a stash lover’s dream: grab your leftovers, minis, handspun treasures, or the ends of your sweater fades and turn them into a colorful accessory thats super fun and easy to knit.
Using a simple stranded colorwork motif (no floats), Lite Bright Loop lets you mix shades in a way that feels organic and expressive. Fade boldly, knit softly shifting gradients, or go full confetti explosion, every loop becomes one of a kind.
And because every stash looks different, the pattern is actually 4-in-1, with separate charts for:
- Fingering weight – 5 colors
- Fingering weight – 17 colors (also adaptable to 9 minis for a single-loop)
- DK weight – 5 colors
- DK weight – 19 colors (also adaptable to 10 minis for a single-loop)
Work the whole thing in fingering weight, all in DK, or hold fingering yarn double to meet DK gauge. Our red sample follows the 5-color fingering version, while the green/autumn sample was knit using the DK 5-color version with a mix of DK scraps, handspun, and fingering held double.
Both Alex and Lynn were in with me today. It was a crazy day of counting yarn, stocking shelves and rearranging. Crazy Sexy Wool lives at the front door. We also received a restock of double pointed needles in larger sizes.
Tonight’s movie is Yours, Mine and Ours - the version from 1968. It is a great movie. How can you go wrong with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball?
