Pardus cowl is a last pattern(for now!) in my leopard print series - it’s a warm hug on a cold spring morning and it’s perfect for those who want to ease off into the animal print trend without going in the full force.
Feeling gutsy? Wear your cowl with leopard part in the front. Feeling a bit more reserved? no problem! Move the plain part over to the front instead!

CONSTRUCTION
The cowl is cast on provisionally and knit plain with a small stranded section - the rest is plain and relaxing stockinette. It’s grafted at the end to form a seamless tube. The pattern includes links to video tutorials. This is a perfect project to try out a bunch of different techniques without getting to complex of a pattern.

There is a matching hat and also a sweater.

YARN
320 yards of MC and 100 yards of CC.

I used Cascade 220 for my sample but Clinton Hill Cashmere Bespoke would be a truly luxurious option!
