Vespertine by Carina Spencer | Vespertine is an ode to all things that come alive at night. Cables and bobbles inspired by vining moonflowers are knit in lofty, super bulky weight wool and bordered in twisted ribbing. Increases incorporated into the stitch pattern create an a-line silhouette, draping the cowl gently around your neck or over one shoulder.
Gauge: 12 stitches and 17 rows = 4 inches in Vespertine stitch pattern, after blocking
Finished Measurements:
- Top Circumference: 26½“/ 67.5 cm
- Bottom Circumference: 40”/101.5 cm
- Height: 12”/30.5 cm
Materials Used: 270 yards / 246 m of super bulky weight yarn. The solid color sample was knit with Tahki Yarns Montana (100% Pure Wool;130 yds/100g) in the “02 Taupe” color, and the multicolor sample was knit with Noro Kureyon Air (100% Wool; 109 yds /100g) in the “392 Mary Ellen Jasper” color. Full disclosure: I omitted the last two rounds of ribbing on the Noro sample so I could get away with using just two skeins!
Notions: cable needle, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends
