The Hackle Cowl is LambShoppe’s Shop Pattern for Yarn along the Rockies 2022.

This cowl is designed specifically for Hue Loco’s Backyard Chicken Collection in DK. The “hackle” is the term used for the long feathers around a chicken’s neck. Even though us meer humans were not blessed with hackles, now we can knit ourselves a Hackle Cowl to keep our necks toasty warm and ever so stylish.

The Hackle Cowl features simple ridged color changes with 2 contrasting colors and a textured section with simple eyelets and mini smocking stitches. This pattern is a fun way to use variegated yarn in a way that mitigates the ever dreaded color pooling. And it’s so much fun to knit you will want to make one for everyone in the hen house.
