Ochoco Cowl
Ochoco Cowl
Ochoco is a quick and easy cowl with simple lace and texture on a stockinette stitch base.
The main body of the asymmetrical cowl is worked sideways from end to end with increases only on the neck edge. Stitches are then picked up along the bottom edge for the fun textured section and the side edge is finished last. The cowl is seamed at the back neck for easy blocking and adjustment for the fit you desire.
Ochoco is a great way to use up stash and leftover yarn and works best in one color of yarn without much color variation so that the stitch pattern really shines.
The samples are shown in fingering or sport weight yarn, but the instructions are written to work to a distance, so the cowl can be made in any yarn weight (from fingering to worsted)! Size and yarn usage will vary with differences in gauge and yarn choices. A video tutorial is provided for the textured stitch pattern. No cable needles or dropped stitches are required!
The instructions are both written and charted and the pattern has been professionally tech edited and tested.
