I Love Yarn Day Week 2015: Day #2 + Giveaway!

October 13, 2015 by Stitch&Unwind 424 Comments

It’s the second day of I Love Yarn Day Week! This year’s official theme is #StitchItForward, which encourages you to share your skill and teach a newbie how to knit or crochet. Check out the rest of the posts from this week for new patterns and daily prizes from our friends at Red Heart Yarns, Lion Brand, Premier Yarns, Simplicity, Yarnspirations, and Love Knitting. ILYD2015

We’re dedicating today to knitting – we can’t let crocheters have ALL the fun, now can we? (Double the fun if you do both, though!) Our friends at Lion Brand are bringing you this gorgeous knit cowl pattern that uses only two different colors of yarn but looks like you used a lot more! This easy knitting pattern is great for beginners or for those more skilled with a set of needles. Check it out, and don’t forget to take a peek at the giveaway at the end of this post to win some Unique yarn of your very own!

Two Color Cozy Cowl

Skill Level: Easy
Finished Circumference About 30 in. (76 cm)
Finished Height About 13 in. (33 cm)

Cozy CowlMATERIALS
Unique Yarn: Grapevine (2 balls)
Unique Yarn: Oceania (2 balls)
Lion Brand Split Ring Stitch Markers
Lion Brand Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)
Circular knitting needle size 13 (9 mm), 24 in. (61 cm) long

ABBREVIATIONS
k = knit
k2tog = knit 2 together
rep = repeat(s)(ing)
rnd(s) = round(s)
st(s) = stitch(es)
tog = together

GAUGE
10 sts + 8 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) over Rnds 1-8 of Pattern st.
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES
1. Cowl is worked in one piece in the rnd with 2 strands of yarn held together, changing color to make stripes.
2. Do not cut yarn between color changes, carry color not in use up the wrong side of the Cowl.

COWL
With 2 strands of A held tog, cast on 74 sts. Place marker for beginning of rnd and join by working the first st on the left hand needle with the working yarn from the right hand needle, being careful not to twist sts. Slip marker as you come to it on each rnd.
Knit 6 rnds.

Begin Pattern Stitch
Rnd 1:
With 2 strands of A held tog, *k2tog, but do not drop sts from left hand needle, k first st again, drop sts from left hand needle; rep from * around.
Rnd 2: Knit.
Rnds 3 and 4: Rep Rnds 1 and 2.
Change to B.
Rnds 5-8: With 2 strands of B held tog, rep Rnds 1-4.
Rep Rnds 1-8 until piece measures about 11 in. (28 cm) from beginning, end with a Rnd 8 as the last rnd you work.

Bind off.

    I like to look for quality yarn that is suitable for the project I’m working on. I do love colorful hand painted/died yarns, but that’s not always possible. Certainty good color, not fading and SOFT SOFT. Due to nerve damage I do lean to the very soft yarns if I can.

      Qualities I look for when buying yarn are affordability, durability and wearability. Yarn has to cheap enough to buy at least four skins at a time, it has to stand up to multiple washing’s especially for infant wear and it has to be soft and pliable enough to wear in-addition to being soft enough to crochet with; I have sensitive skin. Tis mighty hard to crochet with cracked fingers as a result of rough synthetic yarns.

    I’m not a yarn snob, so natural and manmade fibers are all fine with me, however, I want a good value for my money. No matter how pretty the the colorway may be, I won’t shell out an outrageous sum for a handspun, hand-dyed indie yarn when another fiber artist has a similar color and quality product for a much lower cost. I check prices at several places before I buy when using mass produced yarn.

    It must suit the project – for something that will be worn against the skin, it’s not enough to be pretty if it’s unwearable, which might be a scratchy wool or a stiff acrylic. If it is for an accessory like a tote or purse, or for home decor, it must have an elegant look, and still be durable. For kidswear, and also for the elderly, washability and ease of care is a prime factor.

    I Am a yarn whisperer.. I usually don’t have a project in mind till I hold it. I love soft yarn. I snuggle it to my sheek and whisper “you would make an amazing scarf. What say you come home with me along with a couple of your friends and we’ll get to know each other over a cup of coffee”. Then my husband says “so… Will it be sleeping with us too”.. Maybe!

      Oh Jessica that is too funny. My family cringes when I hit a store that sells yarn, I used to make a deal with my daughter that on 2 balls will not hurt and “I’ll buy you something” just to get her in the store.

      Now she is 21 and is my sponsor shall we say, and she has told me I am a yarn hoarder, that if I buy one more, she will strangle me with it. Ok, I have to agree – 7 bins of yarn is getting out of control, but I blame my mother, who dragged me religiously to The Bay Day sales, to grab her 100’s of balls of wool (for her inspection) while she went to other departments. And at 10 cents a ball who could resist.

      I miss my mom, but I also miss those sales. To bad the yarn companies, keep jacking up the prices, that it is hard when on disability, to be able to purchase enough yarn of the same dye lot in one purchase and you have to use a cheaper brand.

      Wonder if I could get a prescription from the doctor, LOL.

      Cheers and Happy Click Sticks (Knitting)

    The type of yarn I choose for a project boils down to just a couple of factors, really. 1. How well does it suit the project? And 2, Is it priced affordably and competitively against other yarns of the same type and class?

    I am currently using this, and have in the past, this “unique” brand yarn to crochet up cowls for the Craft shows happening this Christmas season. Wonderful colour combinations that take the guess work out of what to blend with what; also makes a great presentation of your final project. I quite often shop at a store called “Value Village”, u not sure if you hve them in the us that sells yarns; depends on availability, but great value, price and seniors discount on Tuesdays. Great value, products, recycling, what more could a girl ask for?

    I usually look for machine-washable yarns at a good price, and preferably non-wool yarns (even though I’m not allergic) in worsted-weight or thicker, since those are the most versatile for the charity crochet I mostly do. However, I am also a sucker for anything self-striping, and I usually love the feel of soft, fuzzy yarns (although I sometimes regret that when I actually try to crochet with soft, fuzzy yarns, because it’s difficult to find the individual stitches with them).

    I check yarn for projects I intend to do, but I also account for softness and for how much it costs. Being unemployed at the moment means I need to be careful about how much I spend on yarn, so cost is definitely a factor. The yarn’s colour and if there are other good colours of that type to go with it are also a factor in choosing yarn for me.

Of course, alot depends on what type of article I’m making and for whom.

    Color is the one thing that I look at first when choosing yarn. Price does factor in– if I fall in love with the color but it is expensive, I will use it for smaller projects or accent something with it verses making an afghan. If the color catches my eye and the yarn is very soft to the touch, I will want it even more because there is nothing more relaxing for the crafter to have beautiful, soft yarn wrapped around their fingers as they are using it and nothing more satisfying than seeing the same response to the one that is gifted that project.

    When buying yarns, the qualities I look for depend on the project. If its for something to wear or will be against the skin I look for something really soft. For afghans I want something soft and durable. For toys and decorative items I want something that will work up a little stiffer to stand the test of time. There are so many choices and so little time…LOL! 🙂

    Whenever I’m out looking for yarn, I always tend to shop for feel, as well as quality. Whenever I find a specific color, I think to myself, “How would the person react when they see the finished product? How would it impact that person’s life?” I love crocheting gifts, as well as clothes for my friends. I even look for colors that would benefit my shop. Then I start getting excited, and wanting to make items for myself, rather than for others. Haha. In the end, everything that I create, the color is what sells itself. I am always proud when I’m done with a product, knowing that I’m going to make someone really happy with it.

    I’m allergic to most “animal fibers” so I have to make sure that I’m not getting wool, angora, etc. As someone mentioned in another post, once I hold a yarn, I know if its texture and color(s) give me a project and a recipient. The color and texture both have to mesh, but there’s not a formula – it’s a feeling.

I look for a well-made one with minimal if any pilling. Looking at price, and my needs, I look for soft yarns, alpaca, merino, merino & silk blends. I love finding good prices on quality natural fiber yarns for special projects. And for very special projects – for wedding gifts, for special friends and family – I will spend the dollars if I have to for that one special, have-to-have yarn. Quality, price, softness, and the project itself govern the selection.

    Depends on the project. For toy monsters, I like hard wearing acrylics in bright colours, usually in a heavier weight yarn.

    For projects for my little one (14 months), I like easy to care for yarn, maybe with some acrylic content, and soft yarn is a must. Usually cotton or higher end acrylics or wool/acrylic blends but NOT in “baby” colours; she doesn’t suit them. Jewel tones are perfect.

    For myself and hubby, natural fibres. Wool for him, silk blends or alpaca for me as I’m sensitive to lanolin. Bonus points for hand painted alpaca and silk blends! Also depends on whether it will be next to my skin – I can wear wool hats without issues.

Then I feel the texture. It needs to be soft enough to work with and not have that squeaky, cheap acrylic feel to it. If I have a pattern in mind, I make sure the weight, construction and twist of the yarn will work for my pattern. I also smell it. I just love the way yarn smells. Mmmmm!

Most of the time I have a specific project in mind and will need certain colors, but they have to pass the softness test in addition to being the right color, otherwise it won’t work. I learned to crochet on cheap yarn, and I’m grateful for it, but I don’t like making things if I’m not going to be comfortable wearing or using them, and I don’t think people like receiving gifts that aren’t comfortable either. I’ve only ever bought one skein of yarn that was soft that I didn’t like, and the only reason I didn’t like it was cuz you couldn’t unravel the knot made in the factory and it became useless. Was so disappointed because it was soft and gorgeous. But my favorite thing to do is go to a yarn store and peruse by touching all the skeins and getting inspiration. I ❤️ yarn!

I find that my crochet is pretty tight, so it’s easier for me to use yarn that is tightly woven. If it’s loosely woven, then I find that my hook often gets caught between yarn fibers.

    I make a lot of items for charity, so I also choose yarn specifically for what I’m doing. If it’s a baby cap or chemo cap, I make sure that the yarn is soft.

    It depends on what I’m using it for. If I’m dyeing the yarn, I look for softish 100% wool, if I’m making my husband work socks I look for a heavy wool/nylon blend for strength and warmth and water resistance, if I’m making baby gifts I go for super soft acrylic warns to avoid skin irritation. I do love wool/nylon blend fingering to make myself socks.

    I look at the texture of the yarn. Is it soft? I only work with the softest- such as LionBrand. Will the yarn split? I hope not! Is the color appealing? Will these colors work well together? If the answer to all of these except number 2 is yes, then I look at the price. How much? If that’s good, then I check how soft it is again. I really hate stiff, scratchy, or rough yarn.

    Here’s how I choose a yarn:

    1. Colorway or color – this is what always catches my eye first
    2. Fiber content – helps me determine what project to make
    3. Feel – Cozy or soft, smooth or rough to the skin
    3. Yarn weight – one of the factors in determining how long the project takes to make
    4. Texture – defined plies in the yarn versus roving for example.

    But…if the color is fabulous, I will get it and find a project that will show off the yarn!

Some projects I look for a cotton yarn, especially for kitchen projects. For rugs, I like to get a bulky yarn that will wear well with heavy use.

I’ve been know to walk through the craft store with a couple of skeins around my neck to see how it feels against my skin and its warmth. If it’s even remotely rough, scratchy or catchy I ‘throw it back’. When I make someone I want people to do that whole squish & sqeeze move and say they LOVE how it FEELS as well as it looks.

    Depends on the project. For kids? Has to be machine washable/dryable. For prayer shawls – softness and color. Dish cloths? Sturdy cotton! Lace? Soft but with enough structure to show stitch definition.

    I usually look for yarn that is machine washable even if it is lay flat to dry as I want the items I give people, especially babies and children, to be easy care or I would worry that it would never get used. Lately I have also been very drawn to bright vibrant colourways, especially variegated yarns as I love the way the changing colours change the look of garments and items.

    It depends on whether I am scanning the net for patterns or yarn. But most of the time, the emails I receive from different websites will determine whether I see a neat pattern I want to try making whether crochet or knit or see yarn that may be interesting to try as far as color variance or product content as far as visual appeal feel or combination of both. The one yarn I know I don’t like is the thin cotton most people use for making dollies, table runners, bedspreads, fancy tablecloths and such. I can’t seem to use the very small needle sizes. I have a ton of that thin cotton I use for make string art or dreamcatchers. I would love to try the fresh off the animal ntural fleece yarn, but can’t afford it. Though I do have a large bag full of sheep fleece from hair sheep fleece fromsheep I used to have. It’s washed and ready to card. I just haven’t had the time to do It. Plus I want to dye it with homemade natural dyes made from plants.

I just made sure the weight of the yarn was similar and most of all the yarn was soft. I prefer buying yarn on sale. I collect weekly coupons and buy what I can at Joanns when a good sale is going on since they honor all coupons.

It is so soft and the colors are gorgeous!!! I’ve made two cowls with it so far and a wine sleeve. I have two skeins left and will have to get more! This is *not* the older line of Landscapes.

    I first look for a super soft yarn (depending on what I’m making) in the colors I need. Then I consider fiber content, then can I use the scraps with other yarns I have, then the price.

    I love the bright colors and yarn that is nice and soft. A project goes SO much more quickly when the yarn is soft and doesn’t catch or bind on the needle I’m using!

    Since I’m always broke, I have to look at affordability first. Then the qualities of the yarn itself come into play. I love color and softness, but if they aren’t available in my range, I’ll even knit or crochet with plastic bag yarn! It has kept my needles busy for the past few years while I worked through some difficulties. I’m healthier now and ready to take on “real” yarn again. Anyone with a stash of sock yarn they’d be willing to share?

    I make lots of cowls so I always look at what’s on sale, then how many yards are in a skein (120-150 yds. make a nice cowl using the V-stitch with either a J or K hook, my favorite sizes), and whether or not it’s machine washable, and then the color.

    Softness of the yarn is a must as well as a variety of colors. It needs to feel nice while making a project to know that it will feel nice to wear. Also cost is a close 2nd if I spend wisely there is always room for more yarn!

    Most important thing in a yarn for me is softness. No matter how beautiful something I make looks if it’s not comfortable against my skin I won’t use it or wear it. The second consideration for me is indeed cost. Everything I make is given away to family, charities, hospitals or just anyone who I think may have a need for it.

    One of the qualities I look for in yarn is what its made with. I tend to use more acrylic yarns than wool for example. I make a lot of hats, scarfs, afghans, bags and amigurimi type things. I know the wool would probably be warmer than the other materials for hats and scarfs but the scratchiness drives me bonkers. I made a hat one time (the first one I ever made), and I was quite proud of how it turned out. It fit perfectly. What I didn’t realize when I made it was that it had wool in it. I still wear it every winter but it makes my head itch like crazy. Ever since then, I pay more attention to what the yarn is made with.

    The yarn is a definite must! But also with that comes the ability to be able to use it without much frustration. If it looks like it is easy to snag or hard to see where my stitches are then more than likely this yarn is not coming home with me. Most of the time the colors must be vibrant and catch the eye. I make all sorts of things so color is also a definite.

    I love a yarn that is soft to the touch. After that, I am looking at whether it’s appropriate for the project. Garments require a yarn that has nice drape and perhaps a bit of sheen, afghans to me need a yarn with substance. Yarn for bags should have tensile strength, baby yarns should very soft.

    I love matching up colors and trying out self striping yarns. I just saw this beautiful “Unique” yarn in your catalog and fell in love. What a beautiful sweater it would make!

    I loooove yarn !! I can’t get by a shop that sells yarn. Even if it is the cheapest one. I always want to touch it and feel it. And if it is something I’m looking for, than I buy it. I think I have about 10 boxes full of yarn. All for my projects to come. So I can keep on going for quite a while I think.

    I retired a few years ago and taught myself to knit and crochet. It has been a thrill to go into stores to look and touch yarns and cottons. When I first started I bought cheap and found the materials were harsh to hold and work with; now the softer the yarn the better I like it. Almost everything I make is given away because that to me is such a wonderful feeling. I do keep a few things like a shawl or hat; and I am currently working on a cotton skirt for myself; but everything else goes to someone that is in need. The soft materials are easy to work with, look so nice when finished, and make me proud that someone will actually use the item. I personally appreciate all the cute patterns you share so that I don’t have the added expense of paying for them – so THANK YOU!

    I am just learning that each yarn has its own characteristics. There is the look of the yarn on the shelf, (so many beautiful colours!) which can be quite different from how the yarn is to work with. I am learning to stick to the easier to work with yarnsw for now.

    Mostly the color and what speaks out to me when doing a certain pattern. I even a lot of times take my pattern with me so that I can also determine if a specific color would look best for that pattern. I try to determine the kind of yarn I need whether it be chunky, worsted, sport. But most of all I try to match the colors to whatever is my recipients favorites or what will already go with their wardrobes or home depending on the item I may be crocheting. Sometimes I find picking out the yarn the best part of the start of any of my projects. Good Luck to all.

    The crocodile stitch is a fun stitch to learn and it’s so pretty when the article is finished.
