Fana is a reversible cowl featuring traditional sweater motifs from the Fana region of Norway. These are customarily done in stranded knitting in red or green on white, but here are worked in the Double Knitting technique, with marine blue reflecting the coastal origins of the design.
A great first double-knit project--since it’s worked in the round, you don’t have to worry about closing the edges or reading charts backwards!

Pattern has options for a single loop (shown on model) or double. Instructions for adjusting height and circumference are in pattern. Cowl starts with a two-color invisible cast-on. Body is done in charted two-color double knitting. Top is closed with a Kitchener bind-off, either on one needle or two.
Pattern includes links to instructional videos for each step.
