Description
A brand new Purl &Jane design, the Howard Neckerchief is impossible to put down once you’ve started knitting it. Simple, timeless and beautifully wearable, it drapes lightly around the neck with a gentle ribbed edge detail. Knit it once… and you’ll immediately be planning the next one in another colour.
And now it’s available as a special kit offer!
Pattern: £4.95
Yarn: One ball of Cashmere (100% cashmere) & one ball of Cumulus (74% baby suri alpaca & 26% mulberry silk)
Kit price: Just £29!
Cashmere and Cumulus together are like knitting with clouds – light, airy and beautifully soft against the skin. The blend of baby suri alpaca and silk gives a delicate halo, while the cashmere adds warmth and quiet luxury. It feels barely there around your neck, yet gently keeps the chill away.
The Howard Neckerchief increases to its full width before decreasing again, creating a simple, elegant shape that looks beautiful from both sides. The ribbed edging adds just enough detail to keep it interesting to knit – and just enough to relax into the rhythm.
The joy of luxurious fibres and a simple, satisfying knit – a piece you’ll reach for again and again.
