Brick Alley Cowl
This pattern is a spin-off from the Cobblestone Court Wrap.
One thing leads to another. Yarn remained from the Cobblestone Court Wrap, and I wanted to play with the stitch patterns in another venue. Thus, this Bandana-shaped cowl came into being.
Features
- Tab Cast on
- Knit top down like a triangle shawl
- A nifty join for joining in the round
- Three stitch patterns: Lace, mosaic, 3x3 garter rib
- Tutorial for mosaic knitting
- Easy to read charts
- Step by step instructions, but not line by line written directions
- A great stash buster project.
Materials
* Yarn: MC: 220-270 yds total of light fingering or fingering weight yarn.
Two contrasting colors, 30-44 yds each or One contrasting
color, 130 yds.
- Needles: 24” circular U.S. size 5 (3.75mm)
- Beads: Size 6/0 Seed beads (Need number) (Optional)
Finished Measurements:
Center front = 20” deep
Neck circumference = 23.5”
Lower edge circumference = 39”
I was able to make two cowls from the yarn that remained from Cobblestone Court. Make one as a gift and keep one for yourself.
