Whorl: wôrl, noun. 1. A pattern of spirals (synonyms: twirl, spiral, helix) 2. Historically a small wheel in a spinning wheel, or spindle.

A cowl for men & women with interesting cables & bobbles that whorl around against a background of a wide rib pattern. Design was inspired by hand-spun from art fibers blended on my blending board, often from which the spinner creates only one or two balls of like yarn (also the hope for world peace!) Perfect for using up those odd balls of stashed yarn in all weights! Whorl’d Piece is knit in-the-round, bottom up & seamless. Includes gauge substitution chart, and options for Plain Rib Cowl.

Sock Yarn Stash-Buster: Cowl worked with 2 sock yarns held together (100g total) make an exceptionally soft & stretchy cowl, as shown in blue cowl , size 2 (128 sts), size US 8-5mm needles--project details here.

Blogged HERE, and you can also see this post for inspiration behind this design.

I invite Any & All who are knitting Whorl’d Piece to bring questions, comments, great tutorial links, and otherwise general related chattiness to my Jenjoyce Group which exists just for knitters of Jenjoyce’s patterns. The kettle is on… see you there !
