As a child, I absolutely loved going to Edgewater Park. I would sit for hours at the water’s edge, admiring the beauty of the lake. This cowl, inspired by Edgewater Park, is knit in the round, and features stranded colorwork with a basket weave edging. It can be adjusted in size by varying the number of stitches cast on by multiples of 24, but keep in mind that this will affect the amount of yarn needed to complete the cowl.

Finished Measurements: Circumference - 26.5”, Height - 11”

Important Notes:

  • It is helpful to have a familiarity with stranded style colorwork prior to knitting this pattern.
  • The colorwork portion of the pattern is available solely in charted form.

Yarn:

  • This pattern requires two colors of yarn in the following amounts: 168 yards of Main Color, and 67 yards of Contrasting Color.
  • The pictured sample was Knit using Sweetgeorgia Superwash Worsted in the following colorways: Slate (Main Color), and Windswept (Contrasting Color)
  • For more subtle patterning, use a speckled or variegated yarn as your Contrasting Color, making sure that for the most part, it is lighter than your Main Color
