Hello, my sweet daisy! I have a truly special treat for you today. Today, we’re releasing a brand new, gorgeous, two-color Fair Isle cowl called Jelm. I do hope you’ll read on to learn more about it!
Jelm was designed by Monica Wesley. When asked about her pattern, Monica said, “Jelm is a two-color, Fair Isle cowl that is ideal for everybody and is knitted using Expression Fiber Arts CashSilk Sock yarn. Knitted in the round, Jelm features alternating sections of Garter Stitch and two different stranded, colorwork motifs: Checkerboard and Speckled Trellis.”
“Knitted using basic knit and purl stitches, this cowl is constructed from repeating sections of colorwork that are separated by Garter Stitch stripes. Because the colorwork in this cowl requires you to carry your non-working yarn across the inside of the piece, the finished cowl is incredibly thick, warm, and snuggly.”
Jelm is made with our luxurious CashSilk Sock yarn. CashSilk Sock is a gorgeous, dreamy soft, luxurious sock yarn that’s warm, cuddly, squishy, and strong with the tiniest hint of glow. Its 4-ply structure results in round, beautifully defined stitches – perfect for long-wearing items like sweaters and socks! Equally wonderful for scarves and shawls, baby clothes, blankets, and other accessories. CashSilk Sock is a blend of 75% Superwash Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere, and 10% Silk with 410 yd/375 m per skein.
To knit Jelm, you will need one skein each of C1 and C2. Our sample is shown in colors Rhythmic (C1) and Soft Serve (C2). 225 (206 m) to 280 (256 m) yds of each color were used in the sample, approx. total 505 (462 m) yds.

This Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include simultaneously working with two yarns, basic colorwork techniques, carrying yarn up the back and across as floats, and knitting and joining in the round.

Thank you so much Chandi! I really love this pattern and looking forward to casting on.
This is beautiful and right up my alley for knitting. I love doing colour work. Thank you so much for the free patterns you offer, it’s a necessity for me these days unfortunately.
Chandi, your pattern is gorgeous! Thank you.
So happy to see you participating in Marly Bird’s 24 Days Of Quickies. She said some very complimentary things about you and Tim on today’s You-tube video. It makes my heart happy to see yarn crafters building other crafters and producers up.
Thank you, Chandi!!! Such a beauty! Not sue if I’ll be able to master it, but I’ll give it my best. 🙂
This is beautiful. I wish I could find a sweater pattern like this
Hi Cynthia, I’m glad you like our Jelm cowl so much. We don’t have sweater pattern that is exactly using this stitch pattern but have you seen our Ichor Sweater (https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/ichor.html) or Falling Starts Sweater (https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/falling-stars.html) yet?
Those could be interesting for you. Have a lovely day. – Johanna 😍
