This lovely and soft cowl is worked sideways from side to side, with side increases to form a tip on the front. When the piece reaches the necessary length, live stitches are joined with the CO end using Kitchener stitch.

The main feature of this little piece is the filigree colorwork: a fun and easy way to knit colorwork and cables together, with a subtle and striking effect at the same time.

Finished size: 60 cm (23.5”) smaller circ; 36 cm (14”) max depth.

Yarn
