Burano Cowl

Create a Stunning Reversible Cowl Inspired by Burano with Baa Ram Ewe Titus

This beautifully knitted reversible cowl is an ideal project for knitters looking to explore the vibrant techniques of double knitting, inspired by the colourful houses of the Venetian island of Burano. The design features intricate geometric motifs inspired by the region's charming mosaic floors, making this cowl not just a warm accessory, but also a stunning piece of art.

Utilizing the innovative double-knitting technique, you’ll work in the round with two strands of 4-ply yarn throughout the project. This method produces a luxurious, two-layer stockinette fabric, offering a unique reversible design. The reverse side of your cowl will display a mirror image—a striking contrast in colours that adds depth and intrigue to your knitting. While the pattern provides essential instructions, if you are new to the art of double knitting, it is highly recommended to reference online tutorials. Many helpful links and resources are available on the Skein Reaction website to guide you through your learning journey.

To complete this project, you will need 160 meters (or 175 yards) of yarn in three contrasting colours. The original design showcases the beautiful baa ram ewe Titus yarn in stunning shades of Rhubarb, Viking, and Bramley Baths, but feel free to select your own favourite colours to make a unique statement piece.

Whether you are a beginner eager to learn new techniques or an experienced knitter looking for your next challenge, this reversible cowl pattern will delight and inspire you. Grab your needles and get ready to bring a slice of Burano's vibrant spirit into your knitting collection!
