My holiday gift to you: the pattern for my cowl design.
I’ve called the design “Victorian Neck Cozy.” The pattern, in pdf format, is here. It’s posted on my Free Patterns page as well, and I’ve put it in Ravelry here.
I made this with 2 skeins of Hand Maiden Swiss Mountain Cashmere & Silk (in the Rainforest colorway) using a U.S. size 5 (3.75mm) needle. It takes about 350 yards, and you could use anything from a heavy laceweight/light fingering weight to a sportweight yarn.
I’m now going to go and hang with Lucy, who is recovering from the holiday weekend.






It’s gorgeous! Thank you!!
Wendy this is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for your generosity.

So pretty. And just a little “goth-y” on the headless mannequin! My daughter will love it. In black, of course.
Perfect pattern for some yarn I’ve been swatching, but nothing seemed right. How timely! Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season. Your writing and knitting are always an inspiration.
Thank-you so much for sharing your time and talent with us! The cowl looks very graceful and I am looking forward to making it. Have a wonderful holiday season.
What a beautiful pattern, Wendy! Thank you!

You are very kind to ‘gift’ us all the cowl pattern. I try to read your blog everyday and look forward to the new Lucy photo. Happy Holidays to you!
I printed the pattern right away then sent a copy right off to my sister-in-law!! Love it!!
Thanks so much! I have a friend with a big birthday this year and was looking for the perfect thing. This will be ideal for Feb. in DC, which always seems to be the coldest month. Hope you had a great holiday!
Merci beaucoup! This is very generous of you and I can’t wait to knit it up.
Thanks, Wendy. Best birthday present I got this year!
Thank you Wendy
