Notes

This pattern is going to be a part of the e-book “Variations on a Theme”.
Caprice No. 24 in A minor is the final caprice of Niccolò Paganini’s 24 Caprices, and a famous work for solo violin.
The caprice has provided a rich seam of material for works by many composers. One of them is Franz Liszt.
The Grandes études de Paganini are a series of six études for the piano by Franz Liszt. The pieces are all based on the compositions of Niccolò Paganini for violin.

{Part II} of Grandes études pattern can be found here.

Love how this cowl turned out :-) It folds so nicely around the neck and I love how the stitch pattern looks in a cowl. Some of you might recognize this stitch pattern from one of my previous designs “Iva”. This stitch might look different from the rest of designs in “Variations on a Theme” collection, but it is not that different ;-) It is the same slipped stitch as in “Caprice No. 24” and “Rapsodiya” changed just a tiny bit. However, the resulting pattern looks dramatically different from the one used in the shawls.

The yarn is so soft and pleasant to knit with. It is bouncy and shows stitches very well. The alpaca fuzz did not bother me at all. It is very slight and only visible on black.

This pattern is going to be available with the rest of “Variations on a Theme” collection by mid March ;-)
