Hot Flashes Cowl
To celebrate this pattern’s re-release, it will be FREE until December 25th at midnight, EST. No coupon code necessary!
Especially sizzling in self-striping yarns, the Hot Flashes Cowl is about to be your favorite accessory to knit and wear. How do I know?
- The cowl is knit on the bias, which makes the fabric drapey and soft.
- The cowl can be looped once, twice, or even three times (!!!) around the neck. That means it’ll suit many different styles… and temperamental weather, too.
- The two-row biased lace pattern practically knits itself!
- Let’s face it: that modern lace stitch is quite lovely.
- Aran/heavy worsted weight yarn is easy to come by – and lots of fun to wear.
- Size 10 needles means that you will knit this at supersonic speed.
Construction Details
The Hot Flashes Cowl is made in one piece along the short edge and requires a little bit of seaming or grafting to turn it into a closed loop. It is up to the knitter to decide if they would like to work a standard cast-on and then seam the ends together or if they would like to work a provisional cast-on and then graft the ends together or work a 3-needle bind off. You could even choose not to close the cowl and keep it as a scarf.
