About:
The Pine + Oak Cowl is a stranded-colourwork pattern inspired by rolling hills of bright fall colours. It is knit entirely in the round by first knitting a long tube, before the ends of the tube are grafted together with a Kitchener Stitch, with a twist in the body of the cowl.

It is a fun colourwork knit with easy charts, and can be completed with one 250 yard (230 m) skein each of the two colours.

This is the sister pattern of the Pine + Oak Sweater.
