Bex Knitty Design

  Today sees the release of the  'Trawler Cowl' ,  available in my Ravelry store ' Bex Knitty Design ' and shortly also on LoveCrafts.com! This cowl features twisted stitches and cables to add interest and texture to the knitting process, interspersed with seed stitch, moss stitch and bands of garter to give small frequent “restful” stitches to provide ease between them. The result is an engaging knit and a cowl full of traditional elements and cosy goodness, which is both lovely to look at and easy & comfortable to wear .  Beginning with a provisional cast on, this piece is knit flat, the charts worked through and then uses three-needle bind off to join it into a loop, hidden in a garter stitch section . As usual with my releases, it will be FREE for the first day or so, which means until end of day (CET - Central European Time) on the 19th November 2022 and then with 25% off until end of day (CET - Central European Time) on the 25th November 2022 to celebrate t...

It is a fairly close-fitting cowl that you knit as a single layer for something a bit lighter or a double layer version, offering a more substantial cosy option. A provisional cast on is used at the start for that version and then opened once all the patterning part is worked leaving only stockinette fabric to be worked up to match the length of the patterned half you have already worked, to be joined by using a 3rd needle like a kind of halfway 3 needle bind off. Both versions are the...

                                             Knitting up the leftovers... Over the last few years of designing, I have filled my leftovers drawers with perfectly useable amounts of wool that just have to  grow up to be designs of their own! So I had a good rummage through, came up with some ideas and have already made a start. This gorgeous West Yorkshire Spinners Illustrious Yarn jumped out at me to become a shoulder hugging cowl, the kind of which my daughter has wanted for a while, so this will also make it into her Christmas knits gift pile.  Taking inspiration from its mother pattern - the Moorlands Romance Shawl from which the yarn was left over from - as I wanted to keep elements from that shawl, and because I always feel a more all over pattern works better on a cowl then more individual motifs that require more of laid out canvas to ...
