Flurries Cowl Knitting Pattern Download

Description

Work in the round using Kitchener stitch, stranded colorwork, and circular grafting to create this beautiful knitted cowl pattern.

Designer: Heather Zoppetti

Difficulty: Intermediate

Finished Size: 9" wide and 56.5" circumference.

Specific Yarn Used: Stitch Sprouts Yellowstone(80% wool, 20% silk; 285 yd [261 m]/3.5 oz [100 g]): #SSY000 snow (white; MC), 3 skeins and #SSY004 Reese Creek (blue; CC), 1 skein.

Needles: Size 4 (3.5 mm): 16" circular (cir). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Marker (m); removable m; waste yarn for provisional CO and to be used as a stitch holder; crochet hook; spare cir needle in same size or smaller than working needle; tapestry needle.

Gauge: 27 sts and 29 rnds = 4" in charted patt.

Notes: This cowl begins with a provisional cast-on, then is worked in the round to form a long tube. The ends are grafted together using Kitchener stitch and the circular grafting method. The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color; this will prevent tangling. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on wrong side of work.
