Sea Fan Cowl
Organic forms grow and recede, swirling around the circumference of this cowl.
A picot cast on and bind off adds interest and keeps the edges stretchy.
Instructions for the Sea Fan pattern are provided in written directions as well as a choice of two charts: a traditional brioche chart on a grid, and a StitchMaps chart, a more visual representation of the knitted fabric.
Yarn
Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply
100% Superwash Merino Wool;
400 yds/3.9 oz (365 m/110 g) skeins
1 skein in each of 2 colors, shown in Spring Green (light color) and Beanstalk (dark color)
Or approximately 250 yards/230 meters of fingering weight yarn in each of two colors - you will need slightly more of the light color than the dark color.

US 4 3.5 mm circular needle, 24/60 cm long, or size to obtain gauge
Gauge
