Introducing “Herd’s The Word” Cowl by Laura Dobratz - September’s KAL at Wool & Cottage!
This pattern was originally written for the Fuzzy Goat Yarn Shop, and their promotion of 2023 “Box of Goats” - a holiday themed yarn subscription. This knit is fully textured, knit flat and seamed asymmetrically. I love the variety of options this design has, including solid or gradient color schemes, and the option to use mini or full skeins of fingering weight yarn. It’s also a great stash busting pattern!
The pattern is 40% off through August 30th. (No code needed, applied at checkout. You can click the link above to purchase it on Ravelry).
As far as yarn options, this pattern recommends using Emma’s Yarn with different three options:
Emma's Yarn Practically Perfect Smalls
Emma's Yarn Super Silky Smalls / Theme Packs
If your LYS (Local Yarn Shop) doesn’t sell Emma’s Yarn, here is a recommendation to purchase: Simply Socks Yarn Company. (This is my LYS, and they do a fantastic job!).
Emma’s Yarn uses a nice blend of Merino Wool + Nylon. You’ll need right around 560-600 yds of yarn for this project. This is a relatively easy yarn to swap as well, please reach out if you need help with choosing yarn molly@woolandcottage.com.
I’m excited to cast on this project with you starting September 1st, 2024. We will take the entire month of September to stitch up the cowl. We will share our progress and any knitting support on our Facebook Group.
