I was staring at my "needs to be sorted" stash last night and felt the need for some instant (almost) gratification. My family's been going through a bit of a stressful period lately, and despite the good work that I'm doing with my WIPs, I really needed a quick fix of a completed project.
So I pulled out the 2 hanks of Katia Iceberg that I picked up at a warehouse sale 2 months ago and set to work on a big chunky cowl. I always find it fun to use my 'comically oversized' needles and they were the perfect fit for this project. I improvised the pattern (the kind of knitting that I find most relaxing) and here it is (albeit in a really, really rough format)!
Kirsty's Relaxin' Chillaxin' Mobius Wrap
Yarn: Katia Iceberg (or a similar Super Bulky Yarn), 2 hanks (200g/66m)
Needles: 19mm/US35
Gauge is not important for this pattern. Have fun with it!
Abbreviations:
Sl1K: Slip 1 stitch knitwise
YO: Yarn over
sl1 k1 psso: slip1 knitwise, knit1, pass the slipped stitch over
k2tog: knit 2 stitches together
Pattern:
Loosely cast on 16 stitches.
Row 1: sl1k, [YO, sl1 k1 psso] to last stitch, K1
Row2: sl1k, [YO, k2tog] to last stitch, K1
Repeat these 2 rows until you've only got enough yarn left for one more row to bind off leaving a long tail. Around about 50 rows.
Bind off loosely.
Block the piece as a flat rectangle. Once dry, giving the piece a single twist, sew the ends together using a mattress stitch.
That's it. Easy-peasy lemon squeezy!
