Another month, another pattern release, and this one is a cowl. I haven't designed a cowl worked flat for quite a while, and this one was inspired by the handspun yarn used to make the pattern sample. I wanted something that wouldn't compete with the colours. I had dyed the fibre myself before spinning it into DK weight yarn. It was my first time working with BFL fibre and it's so soft I wanted something I could wear against my skin. It needed a simple but effective stitch pattern that would work well with the subtle colour changes and this stitch pattern fit the bill perfectly.
The cowl begins with a provisional cast-on and is worked flat for the required length before the cast-on is unpicked and the two ends grafted together. (You could also work a three-needle cast-off if you like but that would form a seam.)
Don't worry, I don't wear the cowl like that in the street!
