Overtones

Overtones is the perfect cowl for speed and colour play.

A quick knit in chunky or super bulky yarns, it also works beautifully with yarns that have lots of character. The pattern is simple and creates an interesting texture with oblique raised lines running at an angle in one colour, and subtle texture lines running across the current in the under colour. The result is a very warm, snuggly cowl which is narrow enough to be worn like a scarf, but without the risk of falling off and being left on a train somewhere.

Designed with travel knitting in mind, it uses a short formula which is easy to memorise so you can knit on the bus, the train, or while chatting at knit night.

Play with pairing a solid yarn with a variegated, or two contrasting colours, or knitting a gradient yarn from both ends.

Pattern can be worked entirely from the written pattern, or from the chart with notes.

Gauge is not critical with this project. Adaptable to any yardage of worsted to super bulky yarn.
