Lissanover Cowl
Lissanover Cowl is inspired by the geometric surface decoration on gold lunulae in the collection of the National Museum of Ireland. The cowl came to life as a solution to keeping my shoulders & neck warm while working from home, and keeping scarf ends out of the way of multiple cups of tea!
This cowl is knit back & forth using a combination of mosaic knitting and slipped stitch patterns in garter stitch, so only one colour is worked per row. It is shaped to fit over the shoulders using a series of increases, and is finished with applied button bands. The cowl can be worn buttoned as a hood or gathered around the neck, or can be partially unbuttoned to be worn as a shawl or capelet, to sit lower over the shoulders.
The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
