The LYS Cowldana is knit from the bottom up. It features I-cord edges, knitting flat, knitting in the round, a faux seam and ribbing. This cowl is simple but customizable.

This pattern was inspired by the yarn. My Local Yarn Shop, “ThreeLoves Yarn” received a large order of this incredible, rustic, and very individual yarn by Feederbrook Farms. I immediately wanted to cast it on, but I wanted a pattern that wouldn’t detract from the unique color combinations and beautiful fractal gradients featured in each skein and use every inch of the skein. So the “Cowldana” was born.
