Description Method: This stranded colorwork cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. Featuring easy to memorise snowflake and “wind” patterns, it can be worked in three or more contrasting colors. The colorwork motifs in this pattern are both charted and written out. You do not need to be comfortable working from charts in order to enjoy knitting this design! Size: This pattern is written in 4 suggested sizes, but the circumference is easily adjusted to any length (notes for doing this are included). All instructions that differ depending on the size you are knitting are indicated with parentheses and color coded like this: XS (S, M, L). Size Finished Circumference Finished Height XS 20” 51 cm 9” 23 cm S 24” 61 cm 9” 23 cm M 28” 71 cm 9” 23 cm L 60” 152 cm 9” 23 cm Yarn: This pattern works well with three solid colors of DK yarn. I used Cygnet Pure Wool Superwash DK which states a tension of 19 stitches and 26 rows for a 10 cm (4 inches) square using 3.25-4mm needles on the label. If substituting yarn look for one with a similar gauge/tension given on the label to achieve the same fabric density. I have chosen to use a 100% wool yarn because the resulting fabric “breathes” better than an acrylic yarn would – this helps you not overheat as you warm up when you’re out and about. Please note I do not recommend using yarns with a high cotton content as cotton doesn’t stretch as much as other fibers and this will affect the fit of your cowl. The amounts of each color required will depend on how many colors you pick, where you choose to use them in the cowl, and which size you knit. As a guide for the cowl pictured (size S in three colors) I used the following: quantities of Cygnet Pure Wool Superwash DK: MC – 592 Claret approx. 160 metres (175 yards) CC1 – 4323 Duck Egg approx. 65 metres (71 yards) CC2 – 208 White approx. 25 metres (27 yards) Gauge: 24 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) over colorwork pattern. Needles: 4mm dpns, long circular for magic loop, or 15” (40 cm) circular needles or size needed for gauge.
