UFO Sky Cowl
A funky, high contrast cowl featuring UFOs flying in outer space. It's a fun picture cowl suitable for male or female. This warm, two-tone cowl is knit in the round using moss stitch and woven floats technique (similar to stranded colour work). Basic chart reading required. Full written chart instructions are included.
The unique woven effect plays with pattern and texture. Choose two high contrast colours. MC makes the longer floats used to create the UFOs or UAPs (light grey in the sample). CC makes the background colour (deep blue). Add your own fun with beads, metallic or shiny embroidery thread. The pattern makes a dense and cuddly cowl using only 3 x 50gm balls.
