Woven Warmth is a pattern using the woven knitting technique. The pattern includes a shawl as well as a cowl. It requires small amounts of yarn that are carried up the work as well as yarn that is stranded across. You will need to use bobbins or yarn butterflies for this project. The pattern is laid out in sections as follows: Navigating This Pattern What is a Tabby Weave Selecting Your Colors Arranging Your Colors - Shawl Arranging Your Colors - Cowl Pattern Notes Woven Warmth Shawl General Instructions Woven Warmth Chart Photo Collage of Shawl Woven Warmth Cowl Photo Collage of Cowl There are photos to accompany the written instructions to help explain the technique. Color advice is given and to help you select colors, color examples and color-in pages are included. Small amounts of 20 colors were used to make the shawl shown. 4 colors were used to make the cowl. For the cowl, I used Isager Spinni held together with Isager Silk Mohair, approximately 35g of each color, 3.5mm (US4) needles. It measures 60cm (24”) circumference, 40cm (16”) front center depth, 20cm (8”) back neck depth. It is hoped that you, the knitter, will develop your own color/yarn arrangement, your own Woven Warmth.
