The result is an eye-catching accessory, fun to knit and beautiful to wear!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance, a seasoned knitter may assume that this pattern uses double knitting. Rather than deploy that technique, I designed this pattern to use a provisional cast on and pretty purl bumps to create two seams. The result is a pattern that is approachable for all levels of knitters, yielding a finished piece that looks far more complicated than it is!\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\u003e\u003cem\u003eDouble Wrapped Cowl:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e51” (130cm) circumference \u003cbr\u003e5.5” (14cm) height\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePullover Cowl:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e20” (51cm) circumference \u003cbr\u003e6.5” (17cm) height\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalabrigo Sock yarn was an easy choice for this design. Each skein is 100% merino, soft as a kitten and a generous 440 yards (400 meters). I chose Impressionist Blue and Natural for my two samples and used Fucsia as a splash of color for the Pullover cowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy gauge for this project was 33 sts and 36 rows \/ 4 in (10 cm). At this tension, I was able to produce the Double Wrapped Cowl with just one skein of each color, but had a scant amount remaining. To account for variations in gauge and yardage, I recommend two skeins of each color to make the Double Wrapped version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pullover Cowl only requires 50 grams of each color. Which means two skeins of each color will yield both cowls!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll also need these tools to complete the project: \u003cbr\u003eTo work in the round: \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":47816853848215,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0148\/9761\/0852\/files\/IMG_0385.jpg?v=1778518409","url":"https:\/\/bloomhandmadestudio.com\/products\/positive-space-cowls-knitting-pattern","provider":"Bloom Handmade Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
