Gush Cowl

Includes both line-by-line abbreviated instructions and a chart.

A chunky cowl with the perfect snuggle. Fitted at the jawline and flared to lie smoothly along the larger neckline.

When worn, a slightly tall height presses the layers to give a rolling effect - as river water flowing over rocks.

Worked top-down in the Round.

Deep Dimensional Texture, which alternates directions in expanding layers.

Tips for best dimensional effect:

• Tight stitches/gauge – Needles 1 to 2 sizes smaller than the yarn label recommends.
• Snug down decreases.
• If not using Single-ply suggest a firm, round, ‘bouncy’ yarn.
