This is a pattern to knit a cowl, and with 2 length options, using the stranded colourwork technique. Both sizes are worked in the round, one is a short tube worn close to the neck and the other a long tube which is grafted. (You may, of course, work your project even longer, if you prefer a scarf. No grafting, just sew each end closed.)

The short cowl has 3 size options achieved by changing needle sizes. The long cowl has only 1 suggested size option (though you may lengthen or shorten as you prefer or use any needles you like).

Kits (including download code for pattern) will be available soon at Valley View Farms. Valley View Shetlands & One Woman Wools is a sheep farm and fiber studio owned and operated by Janice Whitfield in beautiful Eastern Washington.
