Kananaskis Hat

Discover the stunning beauty of Kananaskis with this exquisite knitting pattern for a matching cowl and fingerless gloves set, inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of Kananaskis Provincial Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This enchanting set is perfect for keeping warm while exploring the great outdoors or simply enjoying a cozy evening at home. Previously, I enjoyed living near this beautiful park before relocating to Maryland, and now I’m excited to share this delightful pattern with fellow knitting enthusiasts.

**Finished Size:** This cowl measures 18 inches around when unstretched, 23 inches when stretched, and stands at an impressive height of 8.75 inches, making it the perfect accessory for any outfit.

**Yarn:** The pattern calls for Dragonfly Fibers Traveller, a luxurious yarn made from 100% Superwash Merino wool. With a generous yardage of 280 yards per 4 oz, this yarn is not only soft but also durable and easy to care for. For the sample piece, I used the vibrant Dragonberry color and only 145 yards to complete the set, ensuring you can create a beautiful project without requiring excessive yardage.

**Needles:** To achieve the perfect fit, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or 16-inch circular needles in size 5 US (3.75 mm), or you may use a different size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

**Gauge:** To ensure your cowl and fingerless gloves fit beautifully, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches when blocked in stockinette, knit in the round. This gauge is crucial for achieving the right dimensions and overall look of your project.
