For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns. The yarn weight may vary, and the patterns might introduce working with double-pointed needles or circular needles. Patterns will help knitters gain confidence and experience with new techniques while still working within a manageable level of difficulty.
Description
The Crystal Lake Cowl Kit features Kay Hopkins’ effortlessly wearable asymmetrical cowl—a modern, graphic accessory designed for everyday ease. Inspired by the shifting light on alpine lakes, its simple one-color-per-row slip-stitch colorwork makes it approachable even for newer knitters. Worked sideways from end to end with subtle shaping only along the neck edge, it’s cleverly seamed at the back neck for easy blocking and a perfect drape that sits naturally once worn. A four-stitch repeat you’ll memorize instantly keeps it relaxing, rhythmic, and ideal for playing with gradients or high-contrast pairings.
Knitted with The Fibre Co.’s Amble, a fingering-weight yarn intentionally engineered for trail-worthy wear and next-to-skin softness. Its smooth, round construction shows off the crisp slip-stitch texture beautifully, while its easy-care, Merino-rich blend with recycled nylon adds durability without compromising luxury.
