Knit-à-Porter: Cocoon Loop Scarf


It's been some time since I've knitted. I recently started again, and this is my latest design. I call it Cocoon because of the way it drapes beautifully over the body. It's knit up in a gorgeous honey comb mesh stitch, which I think I must have spent a year or two developing, since I could not find any other large mesh stitch patterns out there. It's a versatile piece that I think everyone will want to wear this coming fall/winter season. I'm making the pattern available for sale online for only £2.00. Just click the "buy now" button below and Ravelry will take you the rest of the way.



A current trend in designer scarves is the `looped scarves`, where the ends are joined together, so in a sense, the scarf become endless. When I created this scarf, I had versatility in mind, a scarf that can be worn many ways; loosely around the neck like a necklace, looped twice to wrap closely around the neck, draped over the shoulders worn like a shawl or shrug, or wrapped once around the neck and over the head like a head scarf. The mesh-like stitch used in this design is slightly stretchy lengthwise and drapes beautifully around the body. This easy looped scarf makes for fast weekend knitting and makes lovely gifts.

  3. lovely! I think that stitch would make fabulous stockings...

    And I second the ravelry thing - I'd rather support them than PayPal.

  4. Just learned about selling patterns on Ravelry last night. Still working out how to do it. I might have been an early blogger, but I'm slow to adapt to social networks and online selling!
