Bridge City Cowl
The show-stopping Bridge City Cowl is characterized by movement, color, and grace. This is the perfect pattern for that special skein of speckled or variegated yarn!
Make the two-color cowl for a two-tone effect or the four-color cowl for a stacked effect. As an added bonus, only one color is worked at a time.
Bridge City is one of the nicknames for Portland, Oregon. This stitch effect, particularly in the four-color cowl, brings to mind reflections in the Willamette River in the evening light.
Skills Needed: Slipping stitches. A chart is included for the slipped stitch pattern repeat, but you will need to use the written instructions as well.
Yarn:
• Use yarn with low to moderate twist, such as a single-ply yarn. The slipped stitch pattern works best with yarn that has some give and will relax in blocking.
• Use variegated or speckled yarn as the Background Color (BC).
• Use solid or tonal yarn for the Contrasting Color (CC) or Colors A, B, and C.
For Two-Color Cowl:
Background Color (BC): 1 skein Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (Fingering, 100% Merino, 420 yds/100 g) in Beautiful Liar. If substituting yarn, 190 yds (174 m)fingering weight yarn.
Contrasting Color (CC): 1 skein Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (Fingering, 100% Merino, 420 yds/100 g) in Coquette Deux. If substituting yarn, 145 yds (133 m) fingering weight yarn.
For Four Color Cowl:
Background Color (BC): 190 yards (174 m) fingering weight yarn.
Contrasting Colors:
Color A: 65 yards (60 m) fingering weight yarn.
Color B: 20 yards (18.3 m) fingering weight yarn.
Color C: 60 yards (55 m) fingering weight yarn.
