Petal Cowl
Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Petal Cowl and the Stacked Stitch technique! A 10% discount is automatically applied to your cart when you buy this pattern or the Petal Scarf.
The Petal Cowl is designed to highlight the color shifts of a self striping yarn. The stitch shapes are inspired by flower petals, fish scales, and vintage crochet afghans. A great summer knit, or a cold weather project when made in heavy yarn. The extra long chevron motif is created using the Stacked Stitch technique which sets this cowl apart.
If you can handle various types of increases and decreases and circular knitting you can make this cowl.
I also have a YouTube playlist showing the how to do stacked stitches.
The pattern can easily be made larger, smaller, or adjusted to work with heavier yarns (I want one in Kureyon for this winter).
You may also use stripes of different yarns to make this cowl - I did my initial swatches by alternating yarn colors every 2 rows.
I’ve uploaded images showing the first page of the pattern and the page with suggestions for yarn substitutions.
