Flaming cowl
Knit your cowl with the yarn I used here, find the knit kits in many color combos at Yarnz2go. Happy New Knit Year!
Flaming cowl
The poncho shown in some photos is the Binault poncho.
The cowl is knitted in the round from the bottom up with twisted ribbed borders on both top and bottom. With the stranded knitting method, create a flame like pattern done in two contrasting colors. The sample was knitted with one of our favorite yarns, Bambon and so the stitch definition is just wonderful here.
Keep in mind that stranded knitting may condense your project a bit, so do not knit tightly. Choose colors that create a striking contrast for best results.
The unblocked circumference of the cowl measures 22” and the height is 10”.
The pattern is fully written and also offers a chart and a how to video link on how to catch the floats in the back.
