**FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** Enjoy a stunning cowl with a finished circumference of 32 inches and a height that ranges from 6.5 to 9.5 inches, making it the perfect accessory for a cozy look.
**YARN:** This beautiful cowl uses Woolfolk Tynd, which is made from 100% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino® yarn. Each skein contains 223 yards and weighs 50 grams. For this project, you will need 2 skeins of the main color (MC) in color no. 01 and 2 skeins of the contrasting color (CC) in color no. 32, ensuring a vibrant and warm finish.
**NEEDLES AND NOTIONS:** To create this delightful cowl, you will need US size 2.5 (3 mm) 16-inch circular needles, US size 4 (3.5 mm) 16-inch circular needles, and US size 6 (4 mm) 16-inch circular needles. Don't forget a tapestry needle for finishing, as well as a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds!
**GAUGE:** Achieve the perfect fit with the following gauge: 28 stitches and 28 rounds equal 4 inches in Diamond pattern 5 when using US 6 (4 mm) needles, blocked. For a slightly different section, 42 stitches and 30 rounds equal 4 inches in Diamond pattern 1 when using US 4 (3.5 mm) needles, blocked. This gauge is crucial for ensuring your cowl turns out just as intended.
**NOTES:** The cowl is expertly crafted in the round, with the ends seamed together for a seamless finish. You have the option to work the intricate Diamond patterns from either charts or written text, depending on your preference. When creating 1/1 cables with one stitch in each color, remember that the contrasting color (CC) will always be crossed in front of the main color (MC). This unique technique adds depth and interest to your project, making it a standout piece in your wardrobe.
This cowl pattern is an excellent choice for knitters looking to enhance their skills while producing a stylish and functional accessory. Whether you're preparing for winter or seeking a fashionable gift, this pattern is sure to impress and keep you warm!
