I am retiring and all of my patterns will no longer be available after Feb 28, 2025.

……………………………………………………………………………

My first Roadrunner Cowl has become one of my favourite cowls to wear. So much so that I knew I needed one for warmer days so I knit these in cotton DK and am excited for Spring to arrive so that I can wear them.

Roadrunner DK is a quick and simple bandana style cowl that will show off any colour you choose and is suitable for all skill levels including experienced beginners.

The cowl is knit flat in a modified rectangular shape and then seamed together to join it into a circular neck opening. The decorative points are part of each row as you knit. So simple!

Finished Measurements: After gentle blocking: neck opening is 56cm/22”. From midpoint of long side to
tip is 35.5cm/14”. Back of neck seam is 6.5cm/21/2”.
(Measurements are approximate).
Gauge: Before blocking: 23 stitches x 29 rows = 10cm/4” in stocking stitch. Gauge is not critical but can affect
finished size and yardage.
