Katara Compagne - PDF knitting pattern

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

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!

Katara Compagne is the companion to Woolly’s incredibly popular Katara Hat pattern. Featuring short row colourwork and worked sideways in panels, this pattern will love just about any yarn combination you care to throw together!

Cowl/Scarf Description

Katara Compagne is a sideways knit cowl or scarf. It uses short row colourwork to create a motif of gently waving lengths of different lengths within one panel, which is then repeated all around. It’s worked in garter stitch throughout.
