Swift Arrow is the worsted weight version of my popular Arrow of Dodona Cowl. It’s a quick knit and a warmer version for the colder days. The lace provides an airy and elegant accessory you never want to take off. If you purchased my Arrow of Dodona Cowl pattern you will receive this pattern for free. Check your Ravelry download section.

The cowl is worked with 2 strands of fingering weight yarn. With only 2 skeins of fingering weight yarns in different colors you can create this quick to knit and warm accessory.

Construction Notes

  • The cowl is worked flat and the live stitches are seamed together using Kitchener stitch.

  • It’s fully reversible: it can be worn inside out with arrow pointing in either direction.

  • If you prefer a solid color version, substitute with worsted weight yarn.
