Wildflower Bloom Cowl Pattern Available Now
UPDATE: My Wildflower Bloom Cowl is officially live!
Pattern info:
The Wildflower Bloom Cowl was inspired by the flower garden in my own backyard. The vibrant colors and organic shapes were calling to me, and I knew I needed to knit something that reflected that feeling. Since this pattern doesn't use much yarn, I opted for a bit of cashmere for the ultimate cozy cowl. Any yarn in a similar weight can work here, but keep in mind stranded colorwork works best with a toothier yarn!
This seamless infinity cowl pattern starts with a provisional cast-on and then dives right into stranded colorwork. You will follow the charted colorwork pattern until your desired length, and then attach both ends of the knitting tube together using the Kitchener stitch.
Yarn requirements: Any Sport Weight is fine here. Sample uses Lana Grossa Cashmere 16 Fine (80% Merino / 10% Cashmere / 10% Polyamide) in 009 (White) and 041 (Blue). Note that the MC is the flower color and the CC is the background, as the flowers use the most yarn.
