I adore my Scatness Tunic! I loved knitting it and after yesterday, I adore wearing it! Yay! Because I had so much yarn left over, I decided to make a matching cowl.
I could go in many different directions, but then I realized that what I love about Scatness is the corrugated ribbing, the fair isle band, and of course the buttons. I did not want to cover all that up with a cowl. So, I decided to incorporate all of my favorite elements into the design.
The cowl is a plain rectangle, and when I went to wear it, it looked weird in the front. So I twisted it fully once and then snapped it. Voila. A faux moebius (a fauxbious! …Heidi) was born.
I wore the tunic and cowl to work yesterday. A friend I’ve known for more than twenty years said it was the cutest thing I had ever made and was her favorite of all my sweaters! 🙂
