Samhain Fires

Drive the cold winter away with this cosy cowl in chunky wool.

Featuring a flame pattern to recall the bonfires of ancient winter festivals, the cowl uses the amazing moebius cast-on technique which can seem strange at first but proves an oddly addictive knitting option.

A tutorial on the cast on is included in this pattern.

The moebius twist makes the cowl sit beautifully round your neck – or additionally as a hood if you make the larger version. The technique also means that the flames grow towards both edges of the cowl whatever way you wear it.
