Twelve Weeks of Gifting, Week 7: Shattered Shale

This week’s discount pattern is the too-cool-for-school Shattered Shale Cowl.

I loved challenge of adapting this woven slip stitch pattern into something that would really shine as a two-color repeat. It especially pleases me that I was able to work out a way to continue the patterning seamlessly across the end of round (because you know I’m like that).

I originally released Shattered Shale as part of last winter’s Sun and Fog collection, a collaboration of Bay Area designers and dyers. That’s where I was first introduced to Speckled Finch Studios; the cowl uses two shades of their Cozy Worsted, which was a really fun yarn to work with.

But it can also be knit up in just about any worsted weight yarn, as long as you choose two colors that contrast well against each other. In the version below, I used Malabrigo Rios in Natural and Teal Feather.
