Sonatine is a stylish, asymmetrical cowl that is a reimagining of my Satie shawl design, as both feature the same Art Nouveau-inspired, organic lace pattern surrounded by garter stitch. Available in two wearable sizes—small and medium—and both one-color and two-color versions, Sonatine is the perfect accessory for those transitional seasons when you need a little something extra to keep your chest warm while wearing an open jacket or a sweater.

The construction method I used makes Sonatine especially easy to wear, in that it is knitted in one piece and then joined at the back of the neck with a small seam, eliminating the bulk behind the neck of a traditional cowl. Having less height behind the neck also uses less yarn, making Sonatine a really great project to use up those extra or even partial skeins you’ve collected. And it knits up so quickly too!
