This pattern originally debuted as part of Unplanned Peacock’s Victoriana Yarn Club of 2012.

Featuring vibrant blue-green shades dotted with light pink, I thought these works would be the perfect inspiration for a colorway named Monet. The stitch pattern mimics the shape of floating water lilies and is enclosed by a broken rib border to show off this most exquisite yarn.

This pattern can be knit using either fingering or worsted weight yarns. The fingering weight version requires at least 200 yards of yarn, and the worsted version requires at least 150 yards. You will use less than the entire skein of yarn to knit these cowls.

Both versions of this pattern are knit flat from the bottom up length-wise. After casting off, they are to blocked and then seamed to make cowls.

Gauge for the worsted weight version is 16 sts / 24 rows per 4” in Oyster stitch.

The finished measurements of this pattern after blocking but before seaming are 5” wide by 21.5” long in the fingering weight version (5” wide and 19” long for the worsted version).
