Nitescence

When the light grows softer and darkness begins to shimmer, Nitescence takes shape. This airy cowl, knit in mohair held double, plays with stitches worked below and stripes to create a subtle, almost luminous pattern that seems to appear and disappear from row to row.

The pattern

About Nitescence

The alternation of textures and colors evokes a nocturnal glow — discreet yet vibrant, like an ember beneath ash or a glimmer in the gloom. Light, warm, and enveloping, Nitescence is a piece that is both ethereal and comforting, designed to catch the light as the days grow shorter.

La Bien Aimée “Soyeux”, held double: 1 skein of each color, Sansa (C1) and Fluoro Morganite (C2), or approximately 273 yd ; 250 m of C1 and 153 yd ; 140 m of C2 (single strand, to be held double). Gauge: 21 sts and 28 rows = 4 in ; 10 cm in stockinette stitch, washed and blocked. US 6 ; 4 mm needles, and needles one size smaller for the edgings.
