Bird Tribe

Introducing the Bird Tribe Cowl, the stunning first pattern in our exclusive mosaic Birds neckwear collection. This unique design features bold, original graphics inspired by the rich heritage of Peruvian textiles, making it a perfect accessory for any fashion-forward knitter. Created specifically for this intricate pattern, the Bird Tribe Cowl is not only an eye-catching piece but also a fun knitting project.

This beautiful cowl is knitted from the bottom up using an enjoyable mosaic stockinette stitch technique. You'll start by casting on just three stitches and elegantly increasing at the beginning and end of each right-side row. Once you complete the flap, you’ll cast on additional stitches for the back of the neck and seamlessly join them for knitting in the round. This method allows you to create a cozy and stylish piece perfect for chilly days.

When choosing your yarn, the versatility of the design allows for a variety of options. The Main Colour (MC) can be a solid, speckled, or slightly variegated yarn, as long as there is a striking contrast with the Contrasting Colour (CC). This adds depth and vibrancy to your project, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the cowl.

For the sample used, we recommend the following yarns: • MC Drops Delight, #13 Red Orange Grey Print, 50g • CC Drops Nord, #1 Off White, 40g. These yarn choices beautifully highlight the pattern's intricate designs and texture.

Measurements of the finished loop are as follows: Top edge measures 56 cm / 22", while the Bottom edge measures 70 cm / 27.5". This size ensures a comfortable fit that can easily be worn as a stylish neck warmer or a cozy accessory to complement your winter wardrobe.

With its captivating design and engaging knitting process, the Bird Tribe Cowl is the perfect addition to your collection of knitting patterns. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern provides a delightful challenge that results in a beautiful finished piece to be proud of.
