This pattern is now free as I’m unable to offer support. I hope you enjoy it.

Inspired by the ancient Scottish stone circle the Ring of Brodgar & the marking on the stones, this is a 2 colour cowl knitted in the round. The front is a stranded pattern with reverse stocking stitch at bottom & top, the reverse side is striped with the 2 sides grafted at the end. Worked in fingering weight, the thickness from the stranded pattern & double thickness gives extra warmth for cold weather. It would be suitable for the intermediate knitter who has worked some stranded patterns before.
