We're thrilled to release our latest free pattern today, the Diamond Cowl! It's an essential accessory, so much fun to knit, and combines a couple of our favorite things: color and cashmere. Our Elmer and Elmer Tweed Fingering bases shine in this simple stranded pattern -- just wait until you feel the fabric! We think you’ll really enjoy the shaping built into this piece too -- it falls into a cozy cashmere-forward “puddle” around your neck.
Pattern available here on our pattern pages, or on Ravelry.

We have kits available for a limited time too, featuring our Dimond Laine Elmer yarns and some of our favorite custom and hand-dyed colors.

If you haven't knit with our Elmer Fingering or Elmer Tweed Fingering yarns yet, you're in for a treat -- this woolen spun merino and cashmere blend offers lovely drape and memory and the best of that cashmere squish. If you knit a Diamond Cowl with either yarns, please do tag us and let us know -- we want to hear what you think!
Don't forget, this pattern will adapt to your stash too! Knit your diamonds in your fingering weight scraps on a single background, change colors for each band, change colors for your accent stripes, etc. So many ways to make it your own.
Happy Diamond Cowl knitting!
