HYGGE

Brand: Drea Renee Designs
Designer: Andrea Mowry
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Craft: Knitting
Pattern Type(s): Cowl
To Fit Size:  One Size
Finished Size: Unstretched circumference - 30” at the neck; 38” at the base; Length - 13.5”
Materials:
Bulky Weight Yarn: 4 oz./ 150 yards
Worsted Weight Yarn: 2 oz./100 yards
Gauge: The lace work makes this a nice stretchy cowl, but if you want to knit a larger or smaller size, add or subtract 10 stitches from the total amount, which will give you -/+ 3 inches to the circumference. Since all of the shaping is done with yarn weight and needle size, there is no need to adjust anything else. (If you do not plan to wear this as a capelet, there is no need to adjust the sizing.)
Needles: 32” - US 10, US 9 and US 8 circulars (If it is more comfortable, you may want to downsize to a 24” needle when you switch to the 8s.)

“Hygge means coziness in Danish, yet so much more. In essence, hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm glow of candlelight is hygge. Friends and family – that’s hygge too. There’s nothing more hygge than sitting round a table, discussing the big and small things in life.”

Hygge can be worn as a cowl, or pulled over the shoulders as a capelet.
