Ormt Worsted & Sport

A combination you won’t mind coming back to: Ormt Cowl in Civility Worsted from Elemental Affects. Make it your own whether you use subtle Serenity or vibrant Red!.

I liked this so much I added a second gauge with more sizes (still keeping it a 1 skein project).

This in-the-round cowl combines two stitch patterns, put together to maximize the yarn. Follow Jill’s step-by-step instructions to an easy finish, then check her styling options to make this versatile Cowl a crucial part of your wardrobe or the perfect gift knit.

Ormt is worked from the bottom up. Use the Yarn Usage Calculator and the Yarn Usage Finder to accommodate your knitting and yarn usage.

This is a one-skein worsted project making the Small and Large. Your knitting may yield slightly different results. The Sport version is also a one-skein project making in XS, S, M, & L. Your knitting may yield slightly different results.
