Liminality Cowl
This cowl is a companion piece to the Liminality Hat and is an exploration of the experience of embodying a liminal space. The psychological process of change, and the uncertainty that one feels in the process of becoming and the sense of calm and knowing that slowly begins to emerge. For me, this process, or journey, is metaphorically categorized by steps or the idea of crossing a bridge.
I chose geometric images that allude to staircases and bridges, in order to embody these ideas, along with contrasting colours - dark blue and silver, as an expression of the clarity, the inner light, that emerges as part of the change.
Thank you for all your kindness and support, it has helped kept the dream alive and the fire of creativity burning, I appreciate it so much!
Materials:
• One 4.5mm / US size 7 circular needle, 60cm / 24” in length, or size needed to meet the required gauge.
• One 4mm / US size 6 circular needle, 60cm / 24” in length, or one size smaller than needed to meet the required gauge.
• 8 (9) Stitch markers, optional, one of which is used to mark the beginning of round.
• Tapestry needle for sewing in threads.
• Blocking materials.
• Worsted weight yarn in two colours, approximately 150m (170m) / 164yds (186yds) of the Main Colour and approximately 126m (142m) / 138yds (155yds) of the Contrast Colour. The sample is shown in the smaller size and is worked in Malabrigo Washted – 100% Superwash Merino Wool, 192m / 210yds per 100g, in colourways Cowboy (Main Colour) and Pearl (Contrast Colour).
Size:
Two sizes: 1 (2). The cowl measures 67cm (76cm) / 26” (30”) in circumference and 32cm / 12.5” in height. The width of the cowl is easily adaptable by adding multiples of 16 stitches.
Gauge:
19 stitches and 24 rows = 10cm / 4” in stranded knitting, worked with larger needles in the round and blocked. Working to gauge ensures that your knitted item is the correct size and ensures that yardage requirements match those stated in the pattern.
