Sonatine is a stylish asymmetrical cowl that features an Art Nouveau-inspired, organic lace pattern surrounded by garter stitch. Available in two wearable sizes—small and medium—and both one-color (shown in the medium size) and two-color (shown in small) versions, Sonatine is the perfect accessory for those transitional seasons when you need a little something extra to keep your chest warm while wearing an open jacket or a sweater.
The construction method I used makes Sonatine especially easy to wear, in that it is knitted in one piece and then joined at the back of the neck with a small seam, eliminating the bulk behind the neck of a traditional cowl. Having less height behind the neck also uses less yarn, making Sonatine a really great project to use up those extra or even partial skeins you’ve collected. And you’ll find that it knits up in no time at all!
While dimensions and yardage are provided for DK weight, Sonatine could effectively be worked in other yarn weights as well, although sport weight or heavier is recommended. Also included are helpful video links as well as detailed instructions that explain all the various techniques and stitches required to make your very own beautiful Sonatine.
The Sonatine pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of who you prefer not to use charts.
