woodstacking

Posted on Posted in patterns

some of you may have noticed that many of the photos used in the hasselnüsse release also captured a second cowl made up in the same DK yarn. and today we’re letting that one out of the gate, too.

woodstacking is yet another quick knit piece you can whip up at the last minute for that new boyfriend your sister decided to bring home or your beloved mail carrier. it wouldn’t even be out of the question to make several for office mates.

its deeply textured, cable and moss fabric is universally appealing and the pattern has a size for everyone—truly a piece you can make ahead and decide later who it will be perfect for.

not only that, this is an excellent stashbuster project—i bet we all have yarn for it in the house already. just about any soft DK yarn will work well—the motif is very forgiving, with great stitch definition built right in.

shown here, size medium in string theory hand-dyed yarn merino DK, a lustrous, cushy, 4-ply  DK yarn. this was our club colorway last november, a chocolate brown dusted with gold named corylus; i’m pretty sure they will be making this colorway available to everyone at some point, but for immediate purchase, the java colorway is very closely related and available now. or you can browse their full array of gorgeous colorways for another option.

check out the woodstacking project page on ravelry to see favorite examples knit by our 2011 club members., many of them are made up in alternate yarns, making it easy to imagine how your own woodstacking will look in another colorway or yarn base.

woodstacking is also included in the FIFC 2011 eBook, as part of the 2011 club collection—eight terrific accessory patterns with a total of ten pieces. each pattern is multi-sized and suitable for gifting; many will have universal appeal for women, men, and children alike. purchase the eBook collection from the knitspot club website or in our ravelry pattern shop.

  1. This is great! I ran over to String Theory and found the perfect yarn to knit one up for Dan the FedEx man, who’s taught our dog that delivery guys are WONDERFUL because he bribes him with treats. 🙂 Thanks for coming up with the perfect gift for someone who has to be in and out of the weather all day!
