Gardenia Cowl

Discover the beauty of this exquisite cowl pattern, beautifully inspired by a flower design found on a traditional Japanese kimono. This unique knitting project merges cultural artistry with contemporary style, making it a fantastic choice for knitters who appreciate intricate designs.

For this cowl, you'll need 2 skeins of madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light yarn. We recommend using one skein in the rich shade "Deep" and another in the soft, delicate hue "Killing Me Softly." This combination creates a gorgeous, fairly thick, and spongy fabric that is not only visually appealing but also wonderfully cozy against your skin. Remember, while the gauge is mentioned, it’s more important that you adore the fabric you create!

The pattern features a variety of helpful resources, including a stranded-type chart, a double-knit chart, and full written instructions to guide you along the way. To get the best results, it’s suggested to use 6 stitch markers to help keep track of your progress and maintain your stitches accurately.

This cowl utilizes a provisional cast-on technique, and the ends are skillfully grafted together, ensuring a seamless finish. Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to advance your skills, this project is sure to challenge and delight you.
