Allegheny Plateau Cowl

The Allegheny Plateau Cowl is a stunning and versatile knitting pattern inspired by the unique and rugged beauty of the Allegheny Plateau. This expansive, dissected plateau spans western and central New York, northern and western Pennsylvania, northern and western West Virginia, and eastern Ohio. The iconic Catskills, often referred to as The Blue Mountains of the North, are nestled along this plateau, which greatly influenced the design of this cowl. The Allegheny Plateau Cowl was born from the desire to utilize a remarkable collection of contrasting colored yarn left over from the creation of my The Blue Mountains of the North sweater. With its incredible texture and vibrant hues, I simply couldn't let this beautiful yarn go to waste.

• This cowl is expertly crafted in the round, allowing for a seamless transition from one side to the other. • The construction features seven distinct sections, with each section working directly into the next for a cohesive and fluid design. • This knitting pattern is tailored specifically for worsted weight yarn. The O Wool Local yarn used closely resembles a heavy worsted, ensuring a perfect fit with the stated 4.5 stitches per inch gauge, achieved using size US 9 needles. • The design incorporates innovative techniques such as mosaic knitting, slip stitch knitting, and even twisted stitches for added texture. • To help you along the way, the pattern includes three detailed charts as well as written and charted directions for clarity and ease of use.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this Allegheny Plateau Cowl provides an exciting and rewarding project to enhance your skills. Wrap yourself in the beautiful colors and textures that reflect the natural beauty of the plateau, making it not just a cowl, but a unique piece of wearable art.
