700 Fence Posts Cowl
This pattern is the DK/Light Worsted version of the 700 Fence Posts Cowl.
How do you measure the distance between friends? One of the things I cherish most about knitting is the vibrant fiber arts community and our unique ability to connect locally, regionally, and internationally—both in person and through virtual platforms. The 700 Fence Posts Cowl beautifully represents these connections, illustrating the themes of distance and togetherness through every stitch. This innovative modular cowl construction is knit on the bias, allowing for a dynamic and visually appealing design. The process begins with knitting the piece flat, then seamlessly joining it together in the middle, and finishing off with one final flat section.
At the point where the cowl meets, you’ll work one round of simple stranded colorwork knitting, serving as a metaphor for our communities coming together. Beyond this, the pattern predominantly features mosaic knitting, a technique that simplifies colorwork by holding only one strand of yarn at a time, with the option of using just one color per row or round. This approach not only enhances the visual interest of the cowl but also makes it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
This carefully crafted pattern has been professionally tech edited and thoroughly tested to ensure clarity and ease of use. It also includes comprehensive instructions for modifying the design to create a larger size, ensuring that it can be tailored to fit anyone. As shown in the images, the cowl is styled folded in on itself, creating a customizable depth that adds versatility to your accessory collection.
Perfect for both new and experienced knitters, the 700 Fence Posts Cowl is not just a pattern; it's a heartfelt representation of the connections we nurture within the knitting community. Whether you wear it yourself or gift it to a friend, this cowl serves as a cozy reminder of togetherness, making it an essential addition to your knitting repertoire.
