This three yarn cowl is both practical and a work of art, hand knitted in the round using woven float technique. Full instructions for how to get started in this technique are included in the pattern. You will need to do some Chart reading and slip stitch sewing.

The Peru Double Cowl can be worn down the front or back of your clothes. You can double it over for an extra warm neck or, try twisting and wrapping it up over your head to keep your ears warm. The border is bouclé though you can use any textured, Aran weight yarn. The centre is made from two colours of fingering weight yarn. The combination makes an exquisite design inspired by the textiles of Peru.

Use colours that are sympathetic to each other for a subtle, classy look or go for high contrast colours when you want to turn heads. It’s a quick project that doesn’t take much yarn so is great for busting your stash.

• Instructions on how to do the weaving technique with knitting needles including photos.
