5 for 4 – if you buy any 5 Åsa Tricosa patterns at the same time you get the least expensive one for free.

Erline is the fifth and final pattern in the Tuvstarr Collection which celebrates the return of one of my favourite yarns, Faery Wings from Fyberspates, and the continuous beauty of its siblings, Curly Silk from Dibadu and DyeForYarn MoFluff.

Note: If you buy a single pattern from the collection and change your mind and wish to buy the collection, one pattern can later be applied toward the Collection and is deducted automatically.

Erline is a reversible cowl with layers of leafy lace with a pleasing flare and flair. The lacy edging made its first appearance in one of my earliest designs, Semele. For Erline, I have reconfigured the charts to be more ‘logical’ rather than visually imitating the finished lace pattern. There are also some minor tweaks, such as changing a single purl column into knit. It is still a most glorious lace edging – Barbara Walker calls it Great Grandmother’s Edging but it is sure to have other names as well.

For inspiration, questions, and maybe showing off your yarn choices, you are invited to stop by the Tuvstarr Collection in the Åsa Tricosa Group.

Construction
Erline is knitted sideways in one piece with side-by-side MC and CC sections.
The knitting begins with two cast ons; a longtail cast on and the simplest cast on ever, the Winding Provisional Cast On.
The finished cowl is closed either with a 3-needle bind off or by grafting.

Photo tutorials guide you through the setup and some particular methods such as the Reverse Bind Off for the leaf tips.

Approx yarn requirement
MC 280 m (300 yds)
CC 260 m (285 yds)
