About the pattern
About the pattern
Select eight colours of fingering weight yarn to knit this stranded colourwork cowl. The cowl is knitted as a tube in the round, beginning with zig zag stripes. Increase gradually shape the cowl to create a longer height at the back of the head for a hooded cocoon shape. The contrasting colours clash with vibrant energy in the geometric triangle, chevron, and diamond motifs. Decreases shape the fabric to form a tapered slope toward the bind off edge. Seam the CO and BO edge together for a fully reversible and double thick fabric. This design is the ultimate defender against chilly winter shivers.

Das Garn ist mega weich und die Zusammenstellung der Farbtöne ist grandios. Wunderbar harmonisch.
Der Versand nach Deutschland war schnell und völlig reibungslos.
The contrast of the thread is still not clear, so I'm looking forward to the dark color of the yarn of the sauber ball.
... congratulate you again on your choice of colours
I'm blown away by then every time and I'm really looking forward to the instructions for SSAL 2026, so I can get started with the "Butterfly Kisses" kit...
Oh, here comes a new message - could it be that ...
Yeah, great it's Club 1 ...
Thanks a lot - Happy Knitting
I've already used these yarns together, and they're fantastic to work with—the yarn glides over the needles like poetry, and the interplay of colors is always surprising.
This will be my 1st ever KAL.
I live in Bangkok and worried if I receive the kit in time but it was unnecessary to do so. It arrived in time (right on the schedule!) and well packaged. I love the project bag let alone the yarns!! So excited to start my sock knitting!
Vibrating colors with smooth softness! A total joy to knit family & friends gifts.
The Hex Wool Chiffon is a lovely soft orange and the Butterfly Kisses yarn is a perfect mixture of blues and greens! This will make an awesome mystery sock!
Westknits is best knits and best yarns, The wool is soft, just looking at it makes you want to knit, the kit arrived with the socks and now I can't wait to start.
I’ve just started to use my yarn and it’s absolutely gorgeous!! Soft and even and beautiful stitch definition-thank you for having such good taste!!
The colors are quite vibrant in the project. I look forward to using the Rain or Shine pattern. I have way too many projects but this one is on the must do duringbthecFsll project.
Beautiful yarn! Nicely packaged and came really fast to US.
I haven't started my project but I love the colors and feeling of the yarn.
Exquisite yarn that never disappoints!
Beautiful yarn, love the colors
Very nice wool to knit.
Rich color turns knitting into the art of painting with yarn. This will produce an heirloom to treasure.
Wonderful yarn to work with. It is so soft and drapes beautifully.
Love the multi-dimensional shawls you design. I have been knitting for over 40 yrs and your shawl designs keep me motivated!
Ein tolles Design und wundervolle Wolle. Ich werde das stricken genießen.
