Finished Object Friday: Cozzy Cusco Kimono

Posted on by Laura Kate

My goal was to make a loose and decorative wrap and this project is just that. It is a mash-up of two patterns. I used the slip stitch chart from Cozzy Shawl…..

……….and the shaping instructions from Cusco, by Cheryl Oberle

The result is a garment unlike either of them. I threw in a few random stripe sections and eyelet rows. I also cast on way more stitches than the Cusco pattern called for to create more length.

An unplanned bonus was doing the photo shoot in the snow.

I’m really happy with both yarns I chose. The periwinkle is Rowan Felted Tweed. (and did you know that periwinkle is a Pantone color of the year for 2022?!) The variegated yarn is a discontinued one – I can’t even remember its name. But if you make this with the Rowan yarn, choose any variegated yarn that is a sport weight or dense fingering weight to match the gauge.

While I enjoyed standing in the snow (briefly) I fervently hope that today’s is the last snowfall of the 2021-22 winter – even though the end of winter means putting away all my lovely woolens until next fall.
