Product information "Big & Beautiful"

As you may know, I live in an old pub in the northern German countryside, built in 1906, remodeled in the late 1980s. It’s beautiful and I really love it, but the house is quite big (big enough to hold knitting events and classes!), so we only turn on the heating in the rooms we actually use – plus the wood stove, of course. When I am sitting at my desk, I usually wear three layers of wool plus something cozy around my neck, and this big and beautiful cowl out of a soft and eco-conscious Aran-weight yarn is my new favorite: The reversible cables spiral elegantly around it, so it’s a little wider at the shoulders and narrower around your neck. Up or down, inside or out: just Big & Beautiful!

To make the cowl, you need 2 skeins of Big Merino Hug from Rosy Green Wool, a cable needle, a stitch marker, and a circular knitting needle 6 mm.

Tip

Rosy Green Wool Big Merino Hug

Color Rosy Green Wool: 105 Brombeersorbet

This yarn is the big sister to "Cheeky Merino Joy": Just as soft and cozy, the same beautiful colors, but with only 160 m per 100 grams much more voluminous. A great yarn for non-scratchy hats, big scarves, baby blankets, sweaters or XXL-versions of Martinas shawl patterns. Big Merino Hug consists of 100% Merino superwash, the fiber comes from Argentina and is mulesing-free, it's spun and dyed in the UK and GOTS-certified (animal- and environmentally friendly). A yarn like a big hug! All yarns by Rosy Green Wool are GOTS-certified and made with Merino fiber from Patagonia (mulesing-free). Martina has designed "Big & Beautiful" especially for this yarn.

Addi Circulars with 80 cm (32 in) length and extra sharp tips are ideally suited for most of Martina Behm's designs. These needles are great quality "Made in Germany", and they make even the most complicated lace pattern a pleasure to knit. The needle sizes are printed on the cable (metric and US). Addi lace needle tips are made nickel-free.

There is something fascinating about reversible knitted cables – and they are just perfect to give a simple, but unusually constructed garter stitch shawlette a little twist. For this project, you should indulge and use the shiniest, softest yarn you can get your hands on. The design is such that the yarn is the star – and wearing this shawlette, you will feel like one as well. You can use any amount of yarn and knit a shawlette in the size you desire, the pattern is adjustable. If you have never tried cabling before, this is the perfect project to start! Written-out pattern, no chart. Size of the shawl shown in the pictures: Length 160 cm (64 in), width 37 cm (15 in). I used approx. 175 g of the yarn.

Quadra Cowl

Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch

Fascinating! Quadra Cowl will change its appearance just as you wish: It's especially fun when made out of a self-striping yarn or a mini-skeins. The construction comes together automatically during the knitting, no sewing or seaming required. All important steps are explained in the accompanying videos. As the cowl is double-layered and extra warm, it will be a useful addition to your winter wardrobe! The cowls in the pictures are made out of two sets of Zauberperlen by Schoppel (200 g in total, colorways Samarkand and Arabesk) or four balls of Edition 3 by Schoppel (colorway Englischer Garten). You can choose other yarns if you wish (e.g. Lazy Lion or Crazy Zauberball), just make sure it is not too bulky. Please note that you will need three circular needles of the same size to make this (only for one round), length 80 cm (32 in) or more, preferably in different colors, plus four stitch markers.
