This textured cowl was designed to be made with WildWestDyes’ DK weight pure merino wool.

Three colours, three textures, and uses WildWestDye’s fake icord edging technique. The pattern mentions ‘RS’ (right side) and ‘WS’ (wrong side) but both sides look good, I use this terminology only for ease of following instructions.

Wear as a ‘necklace’ style or if you’re feeling cold, it can be wrapped around your neck twice - see photos on last page.
You start with a provisional cast-on, I use the crochet cast on technique. As you increase on one edge and reduce on the other edge you create a bias knit cowl.

Once you have completed all three sections you will join the beginning and end together. I used kitchener stitch for mine, but you can also use three needle bind-off if you wish. Step by step pictorial instructions for kitchener stitch are included and a YouTube video is also available.

As well as knowing the standard knitting stitches, you will need to know, or learn the following
techniques.
• SSK: slip, slip, knit
• KFB: knit front and back
• PFK: purl front and knit back
