We had to bring these back!  We chose new colorways -- simply lovely and such fun to knit!

This would make an awesome gift...

A beautiful cowl by Jennifer Dassau , Myrsine allows you to play with the long color runs of Uneek Fingering and a myriad of slip-stitch designs to create a beautiful piece that is tremendous fun to knit.

The Design

Here is what Jennifer writes:

Seven different slipstitch patterns create intricate textures in this infinity loop cowl, pairing a self-striping contrast yarn with a neutral main color.

Slipping stitches using only one color per row lets the yarn do all the work, creating a striking accessory.

Fingering weight yarn makes a scarf with a versatile weight that can be worn as one long loop, or doubled for more warmth and a riot of textures.

Yarn and Colorways

Jennifer's original cowl measures 54” length and 7” depth (after blocking)  and took one skein each of Urth Yarns Harvest Fingering (100% superwash merino wool; 435 yards/400m/100g), and Urth Yarns Uneek Fingering (100% superwash merino wool; 435 yards/400m/100g).

We have chosen a different color combination for the Uneek colorway and a different almost-solid yarn for the contrast skein. You can see our choices in the inset photos to the right of the top picture on this page and again below that.

Kit A:

1. Uneek Fingering in colorway #3025.  Here are medium-long color runs in rich tones of royal blue, sky blue, spring green, true green, indigo and a few spans of turquoise primarily. 

2. (75% alpaca + 25% nylon, 459 yards (420m)/ 100g) in Calypso, a rich birght turquoise.  This turquoise is decidedly deeper and darker than the light spans of turuqoise in the Uneek yarn. 

Kit B:

1. Uneek Fingering in colorway #3030.  I see gray, ecru, beige, pale sky blue, green, lime, brown, teal and olive. 

2.  Malabrigo's Mechita (100% superwash wool, 420 yards (384m)/ 100g) in Oro, a tonal blend of golds, some deeper than others but the whole an almost-solid.

Pattern

Note that the kit will not automatically include the pattern and the cost of the pattern has not been factored into the cost of the kit.

I know some knitters might prefer to get it directly as a PDF file of the pattern from Jennifer via her Ravelry web page. In this case, set the drop-down menu to "No pattern needed" as you will be getting it from there. 

Alternatively, if you would like a printed copy, please make sure the "Pattern" drop-down menu is set to that.

You can also get the pattern as a pdf, saved on this website under your Account setting.
