The Flaming cowl.
Knitted in the round from the bottom up with twisted ribbed borders on both top and bottom edges. The stranded knitting method is showing off a flame like pattern done in two contrasting colors. This one is created with one of our favorite yarns, Bambon and so the stitch definition is just wonderful here.
Keep in mind that stranded knitting may make your project skinnier that the proposed gauge and number of stitches cast on.
Also whichever color way you choose, you can switch the colors around to your liking rather than using the first color as your base, perhaps you like to use the second color shown as the back ground for your flames....
The unblocked circumference is 22" and the height is 10".
The pattern is fully written and also offers a chart and a how to catch the floats in the back video link. Your cowl may even be worn inside out.....
