Here’s a snuggly cowl worked in the very best basketweave pattern in a designer knitting kit. While it is easy knit and purl stitches, they create a very sculpted 3-D basketweave.

Complimentary Backpack Project Bag

Designer Knitting Pattern
The design starts and ends with the Chinese Waitress double cast on and bind off, so the edges have a very nice finish. And the super bulky all-American wool knits up quickly, so you can make this charming little creation in one sitting.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Burly Spun, 100% American Wool, Super Bulky, Eco-Yarn

130 yards/118.9 Meters, 8 oz./227 grams

This single-ply wool will stand the test of time. Spun and dyed in the USA—hand wash, dry flat. All Brown Sheep’s yarns are dyed using their proprietary process, which recycles up to 90% of the water used in dying. And since the textile industry is among the top three industries for water pollution, it is comforting to know Brown Sheep yarn is eco-friendly.

Pattern
The Ryan pattern produces a classic tank top that combines stockinette with narrow stripes of garter. It is a simple stitch repeat that encourages meditative knitting. This pattern is worked from the bottom up in the round, then the front and back are separated for shaping the yoke and rejoined at the shoulders. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neck and armhole trim.

Yarn
Brown Sheep’s Cotton Fine, Fingering, 80% Pima Cotton, 20% Resilient Merino Wool, Eco-yarn

Cotton Fine is more than fine cotton. A bit of the softest merino wool is added. Cotton makes it cooler, but the wool gives more resilience to the yarn, making it wonderful to work with. And the combination feels equally wonderful on your skin. Like all Brown Sheep yarns it is dyed in their proprietary process, which allows for over 90% of the water to be recycled. Cotton Fine is almost an essential in anyone’s yarn stash because it is great for summer tops, wraps and sweaters. As well as baby blankets and children’s clothing.
