Brubeck

This easy colorwork cowl pattern is the perfect way to elevate your wardrobe with five striking contrasting colors and a playful pattern, making it a delightful knitting project for any enthusiast! 

Specifically designed for 5 charming mini-skeins of yarn from Lorna’s Laces String Quintet, along with a versatile base color, this cowl is an ideal project for those eager to explore the art of stranded knitting. With its engaging color combinations, it's not only fun to knit but also stylish to wear.

This beautiful pattern is knit in the round, creating a seamless double-layer cowl available in two different sizes for a perfect fit. Whether you're looking for a cozy accessory for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a friend, this cowl pattern fits the bill!

Brubeck features an easily memorized color pattern along with ‘resting’ one-color rows, striking a balance between challenge and relaxation. This makes it an excellent project for both novice and experienced knitters alike, providing a satisfying creative outlet. 

For your convenience, the pattern includes both charted and written instructions, ensuring that you have all the guidance you need to bring this vibrant cowl to life. Plus, once you've completed the cowl, you can use any leftover yarn to create the companion hat, Desmond, which is specifically designed to harmonize beautifully with the cowl’s colors.

(The Dave Brubeck Quartet is celebrated for the timeless 1959 jazz standard "Take Five," composed by Paul Desmond, which inspired the name of this delightful cowl.)
