well, it finally happened here; the first snow sifted down most of yesterday, while the temperatures steadily dropped in the icy wind. there’s just one word for that—brrrrr.
looks like i got that lining into my kingston cowl without a minute to spare. with its double-faced fabric and cozy cashmere insides, this single piece plus a thick sweater would substitute nicely as an awesome modern-day snorkel coat, wouldn’t you say?
this baby is big and tall enough to pull right up over the ears to meet the edge of a good wool cap and there isn’t going to be any cold air getting past it, neither.
with or without the cashmere lining, it’s a must-have accessory and so shareable, too.
oh, sorry quentin, i din’t mean that YOU had to share . . . really—you don’t!
and hey, doesn’t it look great piled up on top of one hand knit and then another? we love that layered effect.
shown here: one-size cowl knit in four shades of bare naked wools confection sport yarn—dark chocolate, milk chocolate, nougat, and white chocolate.
and of course you could add some dyed yarn if a more colorful effect was desired. the pattern includes a chart in four colors as shown, as well as a black and white chart to knit a two-tone version or for designing your own color arrangement.

emily and erica have also put together a kingston cowl kit with all the shades you need to knit the cowl as shown in either dark on light or light on dark. which of course has an optional add-on of supplies for a cashmere lining in pura bella mongolian cashmere for the ultimate in luxurious warmth (click here to view free lining tutorial for use with a variety of accessory projects).
surely you know someone who needs one of these—maybe even you, right?!

I’m thinking I may need one, however looking at the blanket knit a long too. I’m going to have to live a very long time just to use up all of my wool!
Stop…just stop. I am working so hard on UFO’s and you post something that gives me startitus flu! Snow here too and sub zero temps–arctic blast is getting us.
It’s just beautiful, Anne. I love the hat, too. But I don’t recognize the pattern. I need to hurry up and finish holiday knitting so I can get back to knitting for me.
love it! I definitely need to make one of these before it gets too cold here!
Gorgeous! And that reminds me, I need that hat, too!
I love this cowl Anne. (I know, I say it about ALL your cowls!) I have been coveting it since I saw everyone working on it in the classes after Rhinebeck. I am thinking that I might spin up a gradient yarn and then use a dark contrast with it. The hat reminds me a little of the pattern of the Fall Line cowl.
Love it, Anne! You are making it so hard to resist. I’m really trying to be good until your Red Scarf pattern and kit come out this year. It’s become a yearly favorite!
love it! what is the gorgeous vest quentin is wearing??
Yum! That’s a pattern i seriously need next…
What Cynthia said, what’s the vest pattern?
