A deeply textured, reversible cowl in soft, chunky merino. It’s quick to knit up and is great as a Christmas present. Perfect for keeping warm without the bulk of a scarf. The finished cowl is 21cm deep, with a circumference of 60 cm.

The cowl takes 200g of chunky yarn and is knitted flat and then sewn together. Buy it together with the yarn for £30 plus p&p from www.nativeyarns.co.uk

In addition to the yarn and pattern, you will need 7mm needles, a cable needle and a tapestry needle.
