Apiary Cowl

Introducing the **Apiary Cowl**, a beautifully crafted piece that showcases a striking honeycomb pattern, inspired by a close friend who is passionate about beekeeping. This cowl is not only a stylish accessory but also a cozy layer to keep you warm during the colder months. The Apiary collection includes a companion hat and matching fingerless mitts, making it the perfect set to elevate your winter wardrobe.

**Finished Size**: This cowl measures 26” around and stands 9” tall, providing ample coverage and warmth while maintaining a chic look.

**Yarn Used**: For the Apiary Cowl, we recommend using **Marigoldjen Sock Weight** yarn, composed of 80% Superwash Merino and 20% nylon, which results in a soft and durable fabric. Each skein contains 400 yards (100 grams), and the sample cowl was elegantly crafted using 270 yards in the stunning colorway **Spun Honey**.

**Needles Required**: To create this lovely cowl, use a set of 5 double-pointed needles or 16” circular needles in size 3 US (3.25 mm). Make sure to choose the size that helps you achieve the right gauge for your project.

**Gauge Information**: The recommended gauge is 19 stitches and 22 rows per 4” in blocked stockinette when knit in the round. While achieving this gauge is not strictly critical for this cowl, it will influence the drape and the overall amount of yarn required, so be mindful of your tension as you knit.

Craft this delightful Apiary Cowl and not only enjoy the process of knitting but also take pride in wearing a unique piece inspired by nature.
