Timberline Cowl
Timberline Cowl
Snowflakes falling against the changing hues of the sky and forest while ice crystals form creating a soft, sparkly blanket for wintertime.
Timberline Cowl is a quick and easy cowl with snowflakes in slip stitch (mosaic) colorwork. Only one color of yarn is used on any given row!
The slightly asymmetrical cowl is worked sideways from end to end, with increases only on the neck edge. The cowl is seamed at the back neck to allow for easy blocking.
Timberline Cowl is a great way to use up stash and leftover yarn too…maybe even use a set of gradient yarn. You could also choose to place beads in the center of each snowflake.
The pattern is written for sport or fingering weight yarn but can be made in any weight. Size and yarn usage will vary with differences in gauge and yarn choices.
The pattern has been professionally tech edited and tested.
Pattern is available in Knit Companion or will be soon.
