Bouquet Cowl

Discover the beauty of the “bouquet” design inspired by classic Persian rugs with this stunning double-knit cowl pattern. Ideal for those looking to enhance their knitting skills, this reversible cowl features a narrow garter stitch border that elegantly finishes the edges, creating a polished look.

This cowl is worked flat in a double-knit technique, offering a plush texture and warmth, then skillfully grafted into a cozy circle using a provisional cast-on method. Measuring approximately 45" (114.3 cm) in length, it can be effortlessly wrapped around your neck for that extra layer of warmth on chilly days.

The sample was meticulously crafted using Bio Sesia 5, a high-quality fingering weight cotton yarn. In total, the pattern requires about 275 yards (251 meters) of burnt orange yarn, along with 142 yards (130 meters) each of claret and hemp for a vibrant color contrast. For added convenience, having 4 stitch markers on hand will help streamline your knitting experience.

This comprehensive pattern not only guides you through double-knitting but also includes two distinctive color charts: one specifically for double-knit and another tailored for stranded knitting techniques.
