Finished Measurements: Enjoy a cozy fit with a circumference of 24” (61cm) when unstretched and a height of 12” (30.5cm). These measurements are taken after blocking, ensuring a perfect shape and a polished finish.

Yarn: For this beautiful cowl, we recommend using Marie Wallin's British Breeds, made from 100% premium British Wool. Each skein contains 93 yards (85 meters) in a 25g bundle, ideal for delicate and intricate work. For the main color (MC) in Raw, you will need approximately 177 yards (162m) and 47g, while the contrasting color (CC), Mallard, requires around 151 yards (138m) and 40g, providing the perfect combination of hues.

Gauge: To achieve the perfect fit, your gauge should be 30 stitches and 35 rounds = 4” (10cm) in circular colorwork using larger needles (after blocking). This attention to detail guarantees a beautifully crafted piece.

Needles: Use US 2 (2.75mm) and US 3 (3.25mm) needles, preferably in 16-20” (40-50 cm) long circular sizes. Adjust as necessary to obtain the correct gauge for this stunning stranded pattern.

Notions: Be sure to have a tapestry needle and some stitch markers on hand to aid in your crafting process. These tools will help keep your work organized and your stitches in place.

Instructions: We provide comprehensive charts for ease of knitting, alongside video tutorial links for both the cast-on and bind-off techniques. This makes the pattern accessible for knitters of all skill levels, guiding you every step of the way as you create a beautiful piece that embodies the essence of British Columbia.
