Above The City Cowl

Above The City reflects my love of 20th Century architecture and abstract art. It also takes me back to my photography trips to New York and Berlin, with views of geometric concrete tower blocks against different colour skies.

PATTERN DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
Above The City is a striking geometric two-coloured mosaic cowl where only one colour is used in
each round. It is an enjoyable knit, suitable for ambitious novices who can knit, purl and work in the
round on circular needles. For more experienced knitters, this is a quick, relaxing project and stash
buster to gift or treat yourself.

When washed and blocked, the cowl measures 30cm/11.75ins wide x 24cm/9.5ins high, with
circumference measuring 60cm/23.5ins.You can increase the width of the cowl by adjusting the cast-on stitches; just ensure the number is a multiple of the repeat.
