Description

Naples Collar & Cowl

In Naples Collar & Cowl each yarn reveals the stitch pattern in its own way, so I’ve done this for multiple gauges and types of yarn.

Named for the Italian city of Naples, a city of many faces, it well suits a project that can be worked in a variety of gauges and in two different structures.

The Collars, worked flat, are done in a Bulky Merino Ribbon, a unique ladder tape; Civility Worsted 3-ply Merino-Silk blend; Ava 3-ply Sport blends Merino-Cashmere-Nylon.

The Cowls, which combines flat and ITR, looks luxurious in Bulky Luft a lofty Merino-Pima Cotton blend; It Could Be Worsted makes it drapey and fluid; Pippin shows off its Merino-NEP in DK.

Naples is perfect for gift giving and for expanding your own wardrobe with fabric results that vary with the fiber content of each yarn yarn.  Naples is an interesting, but not difficult, carry-around knitting project in a stitch pattern is incredibly versatile.  The pattern includes button-creation instructions for each Cowl or Collar.

Naples Collar & Cowl — What’s in There

The pattern includes both written instructions and Action charts; there is a Road Map and a Schematic to help you see the shaping and measurements. Through the Naples pattern there is guidance to keep you on track. Included in the pattern are instructions for the featured closures are included as well.

The pattern is a total of 35 pages, which includes directions for each structure and gauge, and the button closures. The general information page includes an index, with links to each section of the pattern, to make navigation across patterns, and to all the included information included, easy.

Everything you need is included in the pattern, or linked to any outside sources.  Get my descriptions of
