Ono Cowl

Pay What Works: In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I and others provide in the making of this pattern. The price shown on Ravelry is the “true” value of the pattern that best reflects the work put into creating this design.

To purchase the pattern at a price point that is more accessible to you, use the coupon code at checkout listed next to the price point. The prices indicate the price you will pay, not the discount amount. No coupon code is needed for the highest price point.

AROHA1 - $3.00

AROHA2 - $3.60

AROHA3 - $4.80

NO CODE - $6.00

Please note for those located in Europe that VAT is applied at checkout.

The sister pattern to the Ono Shawl. Ono is Maori for the number six, which is what this design was based around. Knit in garter stitch, with increases and decreases to give the cowl its bias. The first section consists of thin stripes, followed by a second half of big, bold stripes. Use eye catching colors to capture attention! This makes for a super long cowl that allows you to wrap around your neck a couple of times. Additionally, you can make this into a scarf with tassels at the end!
