Accretion Compagne - PDF knitting pattern

In collaboration with my partner, Woolly Wormhead, I’m designing and publishing a range of accessories to match their unique Hat designs that are well, flat.

Each pattern includes both written and charted instructions, and download links to photographic tutorials to help guide you through the process. These accessories are the perfect project to try some of Woolly’s unique techniques without worrying about shaping or exact fit and gauge!

Within each pattern you’ll find instructions for a Regular Cowl, an Over-Sized Cowl, and a Scarf. Two sizes are provided for each, and given their construction, they’re highly customisable and you’ll find notes included for that. As always, we’ve got you covered!

’Accretion Compagne’ is the companion to Woolly’s latest short row colourwork Hat pattern, ‘Accretion’.

Worked sideways, Accretion Compagne makes effective use of short rows and stripes to created a striking arched pattern. Worked in DK weight yarn the can easily be adjusted for a range of sizes by changing needle size, gauge or yarn.
