Joining the Dark Side Cowl
Alluring, mysterious, enigmatic. No beginning, no end. How long can you resist this tempting invitation to join the dark side?
Knit your own Joining the Dark Side Cowl in the round, with colorwork chevrons creating a smooth transition from dark to light to dark again. Finish by joining the dark sides, creating a continuous flow. Which side will you choose?
Gauge:
19 sts and 26 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch
21 sts and 26 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in pattern
Yarn:
4 skeins of Malabrigo Silky Merino (51% silk, 49% merino) – 150 yd (137 m) per 1.76 oz (50g), 2 in Purple Mystery and 2 in Indiecita. Substitute with 2 x 300 yd (274 m) of any DK weight yarn (CYCA#3).
Notions:
• 2 pairs of US size 9 (5.5 mm) 40” (100 cm) circular knitting needles (or size to obtain correct gauge). If you use interchangeable needles, you only need 1 pair of tips and 2 cables.
• crochet hook size H/8 (5 mm)
• scrap yarn for provisional cast-on
• tapestry needle
Skills needed:
Casting on provisionally; working stranded colorwork in the round; Kitchener stitch. Pattern gives additional instructions for finishing without using Kitchener stitch.
Finished size:
47 ½“ (120 cm) in the round and 6” (15 cm) wide once first and last round are joined.
