Greenfinch Cowl
Inspired by birdsong and the promise of spring, the Greenfinch Cowl is the first of my Feathered Friends Collection and they’re a match for the Greenfinch Mitts (shown in one of the photos here).
There is now also a Siskin Hat and Treecreeper Mitts in this series and you can buy all 4 patterns together for a discount. The price for the set is £12 (that’s a savings of £8 off the price of buying the patterns separately).
If you put these 4 patterns in your cart together, the price will automatically reduce to £12 (no coupon code required).
If you bought any of these 4 patterns already, whatever you spent on on them will be counted towards the price of the set so long as you’re logged into the same ravelry account when you make both purchases

Knitted in the round, it has a mock eyelet cable rib to the edges, while the main body is in reverse stocking stitch with my signature birdy feet formed from twisted stitches. Both these stitch patterns are easy to memorise so it’s not an arduous knit - though you will need to keep a gently eye on what you are doing. It’s not a beginners knit, but if you can knit and purl confidently you’ll be able to do this just fine, and if you are an experienced hand it’ll be a satisfying and quick project.
⠀
The yarn I used (Juniper Moon Farm Findley DK) is sadly discontinued, but the pattern is evergreen - it’s in a standard weight DK so you’ll have endless possibilities for a suitable yarn. To show off the stitch work and feel good against your neck I recommend using a wool/silk mix, plied is good, and solid or semi solid colours. ⠀
