Happy Mosaic Cowl
It’s no secret that I love soft, fuzzy yarn. Add a little bling and that’s a bonus! Glam Haze was so much fun to work with. It’s an alpaca/mohair/metallic blend bulky, lofty, blooming strand that you can’t help but squish and cuddle.
The cowl starts off close to the neck and increases so that it could fit over your shoulders, if you like. I chose two colors of this yarn and decided on mosaic knitting for much of it. I found the rhythm of the slip stitch technique very soothing, which made me happy. Gail’s big smile helped me select the name.
I hope you enjoy it, too!
A big thank you to Gail, for modeling. She just happened to be wearing the perfect outfit!

One skein each of two colors of Jody Long, Glam Haze yarn (50 grams, 100 meters, 109 yards/skein).

It is approximately an 18” circumference at the neck, 14” deep from the neck edge to the bottom edge and a 20” circumference at the widest part of the bottom. It is knit in the round, from the top down. It is a cowl that may also be pulled over the shoulders.

NOTE:

I have added a second pattern, in which the neckline has been modified. It begins lower than the original file. This is to provide another option for you. A friend requested it. The file is called Andrea’s Happy Mosaic Cowl. Both files are included with the pattern purchase. Thank you, Andrea, for modeling!
