Tweed Bowl

Yarn used: Alafoss Lopi in Cypress Green

Cast on 63 stitches and divide between three size US11 dp needles. Knit 4 rows in the round. Increase by 3 stitches next round (1 stitch per needle). Knit 3 rounds. Increase another 3 stitches. Knit another 3 rounds. Continue like this until there are 78 stitches on needles. Transfer stitches to one circular needle size US11. Knit 7 rows. Then 1st round K1 K1 K2tog & repeat till end of round, 2nd round knit all the way around, 3rd round K1 K2tog repeat till end of round, 4th round knit all the way around. From here on I did K1 K2tog and then plain knit till I got to about 6 stitches total. Take a darning needle and thread a tail of yard through the last 6 stitches a couple of times then weave rest into the work.

This self made-up pattern has been blogged so that I can remember what I did. The Alafoss yarn fuzzed up so much after felting I actually had to take a razor to it and shave it down.
