{"product_id":"kogin-flowers-cowl-knitting-pattern","title":"Kogin Flowers Cowl | Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis pattern was inspired by the Japanese stitching technique known as kogin. The flowers and other graphics often associated with this method are referenced here in stranded knitting. The cowl is reversible, showcasing different motifs on either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cowl is \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e double knitted, but rather is comprised of two sets of charts that are worked in the round with detailed instructions for seaming. Two options are offered for the seams: one with an i-cord, the other without. Both choices complement the color play of the stranded color work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern offers instructions for two different cowls: a Double Wrapped version and a Pullover option. The sizes are as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble Wrapped Cowl: \u003cbr\u003e51.5” (131cm) circumference \u003cbr\u003e5.5” (14cm) height, including the optional i-cord bind-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePullover Cowl: \u003cbr\u003e21” (53cm) circumference \u003cbr\u003e5.5” (14cm) height, including the optional i-cord bind-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that the color work for this design is presented in charts only.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI chose Fisherman’s Rib Etching Lush, a fingering weight, single ply merino, to make both of my two color samples. Sadly, the dyer behind this label is no longer practicing her art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you consider yarns to make this project, I highly recommend those lovely single skeins we knitters seem to accumulate for “someday”. Any 100 gram\/400 yard skein of fingering weight in a dark color and a 100 gram\/400 yard skein of fingering weight in a light color will be sufficient to make the double-wrapped cowl. 50 grams\/200 yards of each will be enough to make the pullover version. I recommend stark contrast between your colors for maximum visual interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGauge for this project is 28 sts and 40 rows \/ 4 in (10 cm). Not all fingering weights are equal. Please check your gauge, if you wish to make cowls to fit the measurements above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will need these tools to complete the project: \u003cbr\u003eTwo 32” US 4 (3.5mm) needles for the Double Wrapped Cowl \u003cbr\u003eTwo 24” US 4 (3.5mm) needles for the Pullover Cowl \u003cbr\u003eMarker to indicate beginning of round \u003cbr\u003eDarning needle \u003cbr\u003e3.5mm crochet hook for provisional cast on \u003cbr\u003eWaste yarn or long plastic tube to hold stitches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloom Handmade Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48266120954007,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0148\/9761\/0852\/files\/IMG_2393_7a733e4d-9cb2-4274-a253-c16c05f652a9.jpg?v=1789406132","url":"https:\/\/bloomhandmadestudio.com\/products\/kogin-flowers-cowl-knitting-pattern","provider":"Bloom Handmade Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
