Arrochar

Introducing the Arrochar Cowl, a beautifully textured two-colour design that is perfect for cozying up during chilly weather. This stylish cowl is worked seamlessly in the round using DK/8 ply yarn, making it a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels. The Arrochar Cowl features a straightforward knit technique, utilizing only one colour per row in an easy-to-follow slipped-stitch mosaic pattern. To enhance its elegance, the cowl incorporates neat twisted rib edges at both the top and bottom, creating a polished finish that elevates any outfit.

Yarn Requirements: To create this stunning cowl, you will need 8 ply/DK yarn in two complementary colours. The main colour (MC) requires 196 yards (180 metres), while the contrasting colour (CC) needs 98 yards (90 metres). For the sample, we used Tarndie Polwarth 8 ply, which is made from 100% Polwarth Wool and provides both warmth and softness. You will need one ball or skein of MC in Taupe and one ball or skein of CC in White to achieve the look perfectly captured in our sample.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 23 stitches and 38 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in the main pattern, knitted in the round, after blocking. Proper gauge is essential for ensuring that your cowl fits comfortably and looks as intended, so be sure to check your swatch before starting.
