Strawberry Mountain Cowl
Strawberry Mountain Cowl
Strawberry Mountain is a quick and easy cowl with simple striping and colorwork that looks impressive but is really just slipped stitches and uses only one color per row!
It’s so much fun to work the colorwork in a gradient yarn and it’s also a great way to use up stash and leftover yarn.
The pattern is written for heavy fingering or sport weight yarn but it can be made in any weight. Size and yarn usage will vary with differences in gauge.
INSPIRATION – Strawberry Mountain Wilderness is a wilderness area of the Strawberry Mountain Range in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It’s over 69,000 acres of mountain peaks and seven lakes, and contains more than 125 miles of hiking trails.
The instructions are both written and charted and the pattern has been professionally tech edited and tested.
