SILD Neck Warmer / Cowl

Job type Test knit
Description

SILD is a cozy neck warmer inspired by the sleek shapes and vivid colors of fishing lures. Designed for knitters who love colorwork, this pattern can be worked in either two-stranded or three-stranded techniques, giving you flexibility in detail and challenge. It can be tailored for a close fit or a more relaxed drape. 

There are two versions: Little SILD and Big SILD, where big sild is a taller and more detailed design. They each have three different sizes in width S, M, L.


To meet the gauge, there are 2 options of yarn we recommend:

Option 1 (double stranded): Fingering weight yarn that meets 28 sts gauge + Kid silk mohair 

Option 2: Sport weight yarn that meets gauge 23 sts


2-stranded colorwork: MC, CC1, and added duplicate stitches with CC3

3-stranded colorwork: MC, CC1, CC2, and added duplicate stitches with CC3.


1 skein of each color is enough.
