Summer Breeze Cowl

This colorful cowl is a light and airy accessory – suitable for summer or early autumn. It looks especially good when knitted with variegated yarn because it shows off the short row construction.

This cowl knitted flat and all in garter stitch,starts with a provisional cast-on, is knitted on a bias and ends with grafting. Because of this construction the circumference is easily adaptable.

It is a very repetitive pattern and only needs one 100 gram skein of lace weight yarn. However, you should be comfortable with short rows, binding off and casting on within a row, so it is not a beginner pattern.
