This month we are releasing two patterns, one knit and one crochet, as part of the DFW Designer Collection Volume 2.
With
the collection branching out to include crochet this year, I decided that my
two patterns needed to be related to each other if not identical.
Most
of what I design ties back to my own story and how I got here and a lot of that
was/is influenced by my brother’s passing.
This is why I chose Agnate as the name: it means related through males.
My
brother and I are three months apart. We
had so much fun confusing people with that information, which came about
because we are adopted.
We
are Agnate through him and I hope you use the pattern to join me and other
kindred spirits in bringing our craft to others, be it knit or crochet.
The knit version, is reversible, but like identical twins do not have the same
fingerprints, at its core this cowl is not an entire match front to back, but
you have to look close to see the differences.
The crochet version, while not reversible front to back, has mirrored cables on the
front, to denote how while we may not always look like our relatives, we can
see some of them in ourselves.
Thank
you for using my pattern to expand your fiber family tree.
