Shaped by simple decreases this conical cowl is designed to lie in cosy folds around your neck and shoulders. The main body of the cowl features the Estonian 3 into 3 gathered stitch, a pretty stitch often found in traditional Estonian lace patterns. This is also what gives the cowl its name.

Method: Worked in the round from the bottom up beginning with the decorative Channel Island cast on. This has the added advantage of creating 2 stitches at a time which makes casting on the large number required for the bottom edge much quicker!

The start of the round is placed at the back of the neck where the decreases are slightly further apart (the pattern jog helps indicate this for the wearer of the finished cowl).

The cowl ends with a rolled hem which is worked on smaller needles and provides a soft top edge around your neck and face.

The stitch pattern used in this design is both charted and written out. You do not need to be prepared to read and work from charts in order to enjoy knitting this design.

Size: This pattern is written in one size, actual measurements -
top edge circumference 65 cm (25 ½”) approx.
bottom edge circumference 109 cm (43”) approx.
depth 26 cm (10¼”) approx.

Yarn: This pattern was written for Boho Spirit yarn by Cygnet. You will need 2 x 100g balls of this yarn.
If you wish to use a different yarn, please bear in mind the Boho Spirit is a thick DK/ thin worsted weight yarn. Make sure you do a generous swatch to check not only your tension/ gauge but also that you are happy with the drape of your chosen yarn.

Gauge: 6.5 Gathered Stitches and 24 rows to 7.5 cm (3 in) measured over Gathered Stitch Pattern using 4.5 mm needles. If your tension is too tight use a larger needle, if too loose use a smaller needle.

Needles: 4.5mm circular knitting needles with 60 cm cable, or size needed to achieve tension.
4mm circular knitting needles with 60 cm cable.
