Avon Mountain Cowl

The Avon Mountain Cowl is designed to look like an asymmetrical shawl when worn, but it’s so much easier to wear. No need to fuss with it. Just put it on and look instantly fabulous.

The Avon Mountain Cowl might look like it requires expert knitting skills, but that’s just due to the texture created by the stitch patterns. If you’re craving a simple knit, but bored with stockinette and garter stitch, the Avon Mountain cowl is perfect for your next knitting adventure.

This cowl is worked entirely flat and begins at the back of the neck at the right edge. After working few rows of garter stitch, the shawl shaping and farrow rib pattern begin simultaneously. Since shaping occurs along only one edge of the shawl, it is very easy to keep track of the increases. With a 3-stitch repeat, the farrow rib quickly becomes intuitive. Knitting alternates between sections of farrow rib and eyelets & slipped stitches. After light blocking, the cowl is seamed up the back. Optional charts included.
