Cherry Garcia

cherrygarcia3

This is Cherry Garcia. No relation to Ben and Jerry or the real Jerry either. It’s Adrian Bizilia’s bulky-weight free cowl pattern available on Ravelry. Bizilla blogs at HelloYarn and has a number of interesting patterns, some free and some available for purchase. 100 yards of yarn and a few hours and you’ll have a quick present or a warm addition to your wardrobe.

Here’s someone modeling it. I used Järbo Garn Duo, an interesting 100% acrylic bulky put up in gigantic 200 gram skeins. I planned to make slippers out of it, and still will because there’s plenty left. But I thought I’d give the yarn a try in this first. It’s an excellent acrylic, with interesting gradient qualities.

As soon as I cast off I decided to cast on again. This version is knit in 100% Corriedale homespun.
