Sashiko Cowl Knit-Along Autumn 2024

Knitting patterns for cosy accessories are just what you need in Autumn. And if you know you’re going to get help with every part of the project – questions answered, video tutorials, knitting motivation and community fun – then even better!

You’ll finish the knit-along with,

• one (or two) soft and warm knitted cowls, in double-thickness yarn, as you’ll use two colours on the majority of rows.
• a new skill which can easily become part of your knitting life.
• eagerness to knit more rounds every time you pick it up – it’s one of those “just 10 more minutes” knits. (if you know you know!) With 5 rows of repetition and regular changes of yarn shade you’ll be motivated to keep going again and again.
• a cowl to mix and match with your current knitted accessories, as it’s knitted in Felted Tweed DK, by Rowan, it’s a classic yarn that isn’t going anywhere. This pattern can be repeated with many shades to match different coats and winter jumpers.

It’s also ideal for gifting as each Sashiko Cowl can have different yarn choices, so is individual and perfectly suited for the recipient.

PLEASE NOTE:

You’ll be given access to the private knit-along forum and digital pattern when the doors open on 7th September 2024. This will provide access to the digital pattern and videos for your knit.

What to expect inside the Sashiko Cowl knit-along:

You’ll be given access to over three weeks of conversation inside the Knit-Along community space on 7th September 2024. This forum includes comment topics and weekly knitting podcast-style audios to guide and support your knitting.

You’ll also be given access to video tutorials for the Cowl, including repair tutorials for any mishaps you may encounter.

Hannah is inside the forum daily, to answer your questions, give support with knitty mishaps, and cheer you on as you knit through the Cowls.
(one-to-one access to Hannah at this level isn’t currently available in any other form, so if you’ve been hoping to get some extra help and encouragement from Hannah with your knitting, now’s your chance!)

Photos can be posted, along with your comments and questions  so we can share in everyone’s knitting experience. You can be as sociable as you choose; as an introvert myself I love communicating in small bites, but you can log-in as many times as you like each day and let us know how your knitting is going.

• Knit-Along starts, Saturday 7th September 2024
• Knit-Along ends, Sunday 29th September 2024

The digital pattern will be available inside the Knit-Along space, along with a printable version with less colour.
