Introducing my latest bunny themed knitting pattern, inspired by the timeless elegance of William Morris. The intricate floral and charming bunny motifs create a whimsical and joyful tapestry of colourwork.

This design is a collaboration with Crafty That Way.

Knitters can choose to knit the entire cowl in only 2 colours or knit the bunny charts twice and omit the flowering vine charts or knit it as the sample shown with one section the colourful bunnies and the other the two coloured vines. The choice is yours.

A provisional cast on edge is used for grafting at the end to create a seamless cowl.

GAUGE: after blocking, over pattern, knit in the round: 31 x 32 rounds = 4 inches (10cm)
while gauge is not as important in a project like a cowl, to achieve the finished measurements you may want to check your gauge. A change in gauge can also change yardage used.
