Arizona Sunset Cowl
Introducing the Stranded Color-Work Cowl, a stunning project inspired by the breathtaking Arizona sunsets. Travelers from all over the world flock to witness and capture the magnificent hues of the desert sky, and now you can bring that beauty to life with your knitting!
NOTE: This pattern is designed for a one-size cowl that fits comfortably over the head once. However, it's incredibly versatile and can be easily adjusted to create a longer length by adding extra pattern repeats. Just keep in mind that this adjustment will require additional yarn yardage.
NOTIONS: You'll need just a few essential tools to complete your cowl: (1) stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round, (4) different stitch markers to segment your work between repeats (optional but helpful), and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends.
YARN REQUIREMENTS: For this project, you'll use DK weight yarn, specifically: MC (Main Color - Black) at 105 yards and CC (Contrasting Color - VarieGradient) at 118 yards. This combination will help capture the vibrant colors reminiscent of a sunset, making your cowl a true work of art.
PATTERN STYLE: The pattern is thoughtfully crafted with both written and charted instructions, catering to a variety of knitting preferences. You'll also find a comprehensive key and an abbreviation list included to ensure that your crafting experience is smooth and enjoyable.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: This project is classified as Advanced Beginner due to the use of stranded color work techniques, making it an excellent opportunity to enhance your knitting skills while creating a beautiful accessory.
FINISHED SIZE: Upon completion, the cowl measures approximately 11.5" in height and 8.5" in width, providing a snug yet comfortable fit for chilly evenings. Embrace the artistry of knitting and the beauty of nature with this unique Stranded Color-Work Cowl!
