Crossed Furrows Cowl

Crossed Furrows Cowl was inspired by a photograph my father took of an emerging wheat field. It achieves a knitted plaid with a few easy tricks and is a fantastic way for a beginner to work with colour. You only work one colour per row. Worked side-to-side and closed with three buttons, this cowl has a thick, deep fabric that won't curl and is easier to make than it looks!

Choose a light, medium, and dark colour. You will use only one colour per row and let slipped stitches do the work for you.

Instructions are both written and charted.

Please note that I am a loose knitter and you should choose a needle size that works for you.
