Kate Gilbert runs Twist Collective and is the designer of the famous "Clapotis" pattern, among others. Shannon has been selling her patterns since 2004.
This elegant scarf is an Elizabethan collar, with a modern twist. Knit from the top down, its soft angora ruffles frame your face. A strand of cashmere is then worked along with the angora to add warmth and a smooth hand to the fabric. The ribbing hugs the curves of your neck, and the picot-edged flare at the bottom neatly tucks into your coat to keep out the cold. The button closure of this quick knit blends practicality with a feminine touch.
Knit at 18 sts and 29 rows over 4 in/10 cm on US #7/4.5mm straight needles Uses: 135yd/125m DK weight Angora, Mohair or other fuzzy yarn for the ruffle and 125yd/115m DK weight Cashmere, Wool, or Blend The two yarns I chose were very close in color. For a different effect, try using two slightly different colors or two completely different colors. Skills needed: ktbl (knit through back loop),k2tog, p2tog,M1L and M1R (raised increases), yarn over
