Woven Illusion Cowl

Is it weaving or is it an illusion? This two-tone cowl is hand knitted in the round using moss stitch and woven float technique. Stitches are knit and purl. Basic chart reading required.

The Woven Illusion Cowl is a lovely, quick project featuring a unique woven effect based on a vintage idea that is bound to turn heads. It doesn’t take a lot of yarn so is a wonderful stash buster. Choose two high contrast colours. MC (Main Colour) makes the longer floats used to create bold lines. CC (Contrast Colour) makes the grid which can create a design all by itself. Add some fun with one hand dyed skein matched to a plain, solid colour or experiment with tweed yarns or slow graduated colour changes.

The pattern makes a dense and cuddly cowl to keep out the cold and is tall enough to cover your ears.

Instructions include weaving technique including photos, how to fix mistakes, full written and chart instructions plus how to alter the size.
