Let's face it, sometimes one yarn just isn't enough. I love blending multiple yarns of a similar color to create an interesting new fabric! The effect can be especially gorgeous when the two yarns have different textures and/or subtle color variation that adds dimension. In this week’s free pattern, Knud, Brenda, our talented pattern tech editor, held one strand of Abode and one strand of Cirrus together. Fabulous, soft and woolly fabric, this cozy capelet is perfect for winter and the upcoming holidays. This technique is so easy to do, you could grab your yarn and start right away! But just in case you have any hesitation, follow along with our how-to video for helpful tips on knitting with multiple strands of yarn.
We’ve knit up some sample swatches to help you pick your own Cirrus and Abode combination.
A cozy capelet with an all over cable pattern, Knud will add warmth and style to any outfit.
