Garden & Grange cowl pattern

This is a pattern for a long cowl worked in the round from a provisional cast-on and using the stranded colourwork technique. You may mix and match charts or repeat charts as you like.

You may also work this as a scarf (notes included in pattern).

The motif is a bit of a whimsical welcome to Spring with a nod to our small scale farms.
