Knit: Which Came First? by Cheri Clark

Chickens and eggs abound in Portland’s backyards, in an assortment of sizes and colors. For this pattern, the answer to an age-old riddle is clear: first comes the egg, followed by a pitter-pat of chicken feet, and finally wire for the coop… with a feathering of colors in between. There is a second question, too: Which came first: the cowl or the wrap? Luckily, there’s no need to choose, with instructions for both styles, as well as 1 or 3 color versions!

Yarn For Cowl: 400 yards of fingering weight yarn, optionally split equally between 3 colors.
3-Color Version shown in Blue Moon Fiber Super Sparkle, colorways Help Us Rhonda, Twisted’s 10th Anniversary Specktacular, and Aquarius.
1-Color Version shown in Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight, colorway Mother Clucker
Yarn For Wrap: 1200 yards of fingering weight yarn, optionally split equally between 3 colors.
3-Color Version shown in Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight, colorways Deep Unrelenting Gray, Free Range Chickens, and Smoke on the Water.

Needles For Cowl: US 4 / 3.5 mm (or size necessary to achieve gauge) 16” / 40 cm or 20” / 50 cm circular.
Needles For Wrap: US 4 / 3.5 mm (or size necessary to achieve gauge) 40” / 100 cm, 47” / 120 cm, or 60” / 150 cm circular

Notions:
Crochet hook for cast-on
For Cowl only: 1 stitch marker
darning needle

Gauge For Cowl: 5.5 stitches and 10 rows = 1 inch in garter stitch worked in the round, after blocking.

Crochet: Calliope's Wings by Malaika Gabriel

This airy triangular crocheted shawl features lush texture and delicate scalloped edging. It is inspired by the Calliope Hummingbird, in turn, named for the wisest Greek muse. Notable as the smallest birds in North America, their glossy green and iridescent magenta feathers encourage bold color choices when crocheting your own wings. The Audubon Society predicts that climate change will largely push Calliopes out of their summer nesting habitat in Oregon’s high mountain meadows by 2080.

Yarn:800 yards fingering weight yarn, optionally split between two colors (400 yards each).
Two-color version shown in Blue Moon Fiber Super Sparkle, colorways Cranberry Bogged (A) and Twisted’s 10th Anniversary Speck-tacular (B).
One-color version shown in Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Lightweight, colorway Party on a Skein.

Hook: US E/3.5mm or size to obtain gauge

Notions:
Locking stitch marker
Darning needle

Gauge: Blocked gauge for mesh fabric is approximately 17 sts and 7.5 rows = 4”/10 cm.
Blocked gauge for solid fabric is approximately 17 sts and 18 rows = 4”/10 cm.
~This shawl is stretchy enough to make specifying gauge a challenge. Exactly matching the stated gauge is not crucial for form or function, but will affect the finished size and yarn usage.
Finished Measurements:62”/158 cm wide and 26”/66 cm deep at the tallest point after blocking
58”/147 cm wide and 35”/89 cm deep at the tallest point before blocking
~Garment is very stretchy, so blocking will drastically affect the final size
