Double Pebble Cowl Using Shibui Pebble
The Design
This Free Churchmouse Pattern has been retired because the colors used for the sample have been discontinued.
Knit with two strands of a lace-weight yarn held together throughout, and with two different colors, this free pattern plays with solid stripes and marled stripes both! Beginning with wide bands at the base and finishing with narrow bands, this close-fitting cowl has a modern, graphic touch.
There are few things we like better than Shibui Pebble doubled—as in the Double Pebble Cowl! Pebble is a lace-weight blend of recycled silk, merino wool, and cashmere. With a tweedy look but a cashmere touch, Pebble adds a bit of textural interest and soft warmth to this striped cowl.
