The Seema cowl, colorful and flirty.
This Easter weekend you save an automatic 15% on everything in the shop~
Created with the new Lustrous yarn, accented with our Bamboo+ yarn.
The cowl is knitted in the round top down with two needle sizes. The bamboo yarn is used for the initial cast on and again for around the bottom edge and bind off. A ribbed neckline and a raised purl stitch pattern on a flat stockinette fabric starts this knit off, it then grows with larger needles and frequent yarn overs. To continue the look, you create matching eyelets to carry the design to the bottom edge which gets knitted with the contrasting bamboo yarn.
The knit is pretty simple but not boring and it creates a lovely, roomy accessory.
The pattern is fully written and includes a chart for the raised purl rows.
Measuring 79"around the bottom edge, the neckline is 24" in circumference and the overall height is 14".
