Blackberries

Introducing a stunning long cowl pattern featuring a reversible textured design that evokes the beauty of a bowl of blackberries, elegantly framed with simple garter bands. This versatile cowl pattern allows for creative flexibility, as you can choose to knit the garter border using the same color as the main body or opt for a striking contrast to make it stand out even more.

Gauge Information: To ensure your cowl turns out perfectly, aim for a gauge of 18 stitches and 38 rows over 4 inches when using the textured pattern stitch. For the garter stitch portion, you'll need to achieve 18 stitches in 4 inches as well, though it’s worth noting that you may need to switch to smaller needles to reach this gauge. While achieving an exact gauge is not critical, keep in mind that it can significantly affect the finished size of your cowl and the amount of yarn required.

Yardage Details: This pattern is designed for versatility: If you choose to work with two complementary colors, you'll need approximately 290 yards of your main color and 170 yards for the edging color. If you prefer to knit with a single skein of 270 yards, simply cast on 12 fewer stitches to create a chic 50-inch cowl. A handy chart detailing estimated yardage for various stitch counts is included, which can be found in the last photo.
