Sólarlag

FRÁ ISK850

Sólarlag is an ingenious and colorful cowl inspired by a pair of Icelandic mittens in the Textile Museum of Blönduós. The mittens are knitted in stranded knitting and feature vertical stripes with an eight-petal rose motif on the hand. I reinterpreted them as a cowl using Mosaic knitting on a garter stitch background. I´m not aware that the technique was used in older days in Iceland but combined with a plain contrasting color, it valorizes variegated yarns. A drawstring cord inserted inside one of the border will make it possible to draw the neckline tight and keep you warm!

Sólarlag means sunset in Iceland and the cowl has its name from the handdyed Icelandic wool I have used to knit the sample.

Yarn used: any lace/fingering such as Gilitrutt,
