The next two designs have chevrons executed using increases and decreases to make chevrons of the fabric itself. Click any of the photos to see them bigger.

Cowl1 Cowl2

The emphasize the picoted edge that the shifting fabric makes, this cowl will have an accenting color on the cast on and bind off edges. Each chevron will decrease down making the whole cowl taper to fit nicely around the shoulders.

The yarn is Bijou Basin’s Yak Down Fingering Weight, which is dyed in beautiful colors by the lovely ladies of Lorna’s Laces.

Scarf1 Scarf2

The scarf/wrap uses the same decreasing chevron motif to create a curved shape that will be similar to the lacey chevron scarf spotlighted in Part 1.

The yarn I’m using is Manos Serena, which is a really amazing blend! I’ve never seen anything like it before. It’s 60% baby alpaca and 40% pima cotton. It makes such a lovely fabric! It’s soft, touchable and drapey from the alpaca but still with a really crisp hand from the cotton. It’s so different, and yet such a pleasant knitting experience!
