The Cardrona Cowl is a heavyduty piece of knitwear designed to keep out mountain-top cold. The texture of the bat stitch pattern adds interest to the fabric of the cowl, and it is a quick knit in 14 ply yarn.

You could knit this in a weekend ready for an impromptu holiday in the cold (or for your chilly commute to work, which is the more likely option for most of us!).

This pattern is part of The New Zealand Collection which is available as an ebook comprising 20 patterns (some for women, some for men and some for children).
