Appia

Named for the famous Roman road, Appia is a lacey, light cowl-shawl hybrid with a pretty picot bind off at the edge. It is shaped like a semi-circular shawl with evenly spaced increase rows, but is worked partially in the round, so it can be worn as a cowl without any dangling ends (a shape similar to my [Starshower][1] and [Adama][2] designs). The all-over Roman Stripe stitch pattern is simple to execute and creates a knitted fabric that is both lacey and highly textured, for maximum impact. Appia comes in two sizes, each taking less than a skein of sock yarn, and is quick enough to make one for yourself *and* for a gift! **Specific Yarn Requirements:** 250 yds/ 225 m [375 yds/ 350 m] of fingering weight yarn; Shown in Madelinetosh Tosh Sock (100% Superwash Merino; 395 yds/ 361 m); 1 skein in Forestry (the green) and Fiber Story Fave Sock (100% Superwash Merino; 400 yds/ 365 m per 100 g); 1 skein in Tilly (the purple) **Needles:** US 6 (4 mm) circular needle, 16-24”/ 40-60 cm long Technical editing by Tana Pageler. *Please come ask questions and share either in-progress or FO photos in [The Yarniad’s Symposium group][3]!* [1]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/starshower [2]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/adama [3]: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/the-yarniads-symposium
