This little pattern was designed for a group of travellers who came to Argentina and Uruguay on a knitting trip.
As part of their activities, they did a dyeing workshop where they got to dye their own skein of Rastita (a yarn made by the Uruguayan company Malabrigo), and then they spend a few days at an Argentine Estancia where I got to meet them.
I was asked to design something that would keep them entertained, but that they were also capable of finishing while they were still travelling.
This cowl uses a couple of interesting techniques, it grows quickly and it’s lovely to wear. ♥

Approx. 14 inches (35 cm) wide and 22 inches (56 cm) long loop.
