About Rosetrees:
Rosetrees is an innovative and fun-to-knit, tubular cowl, knitted with a highly unusual ‘bias’ construction inspired by the Helen cowl from The Vintage Shetland Project. This creates stunning undulating colourwork motifs and an extremely cosy, double-layered fabric. Turning the cowl ‘inside out’ creates a completely different look, giving you two cowls for the price of one. Sitting high around the neck, its perfect for bracing walks along the beach or taking the dog for a walk on colder days. The clever use of a warming colour framing the face, reflects light and warmth and takes away any winter palor! Knitted in Excelana DK, 100% British wool, using 6 complementary shades. Excelana is the perfect yarn for this project; soft and warm against the skin, yet with enough stickiness for a colourwork project.
Construction:
Knitted in the round, Rosetrees commences with a provisional cast-on, followed immediately by the first colourwork section. Once this is completed a stocking stitch panel is worked incorporating the German short row technique, creating the ‘bias’ fabric. Variations on these two sections are subsequently worked throughout. On completion the provisional cast-on is undone and grafted to the corresponding live sts creating a tube.
Techniques used:
- Stranded colourwork
- Two-handed colourwork
- Working in the round
- German Short Rows
- Blocking to shape
- Working from a chart
- Provisional cast-on
- Kitchener Stitch (grafting)
Tutorials:
