This cozy cowl and fingerless gloves are the perfect accessories as the weather gets warmer, but that cold bite hasn’t quite disappeared. Highly textured with slip stitches, they are a quick knit in worsted weight yarn. The design is a stunning way to show off hand dyed yarn or texture with a solid colour.

PATTERN NOTES
Both the cowl and gloves are knit in the round. The cowl is knit from the top down and the gloves are knit with a simple thumb opening finished with a rib that is picked up and knit. The gloves can be knit using either double pointed needles or using the magic loop on a 32” / 80 cm circular needle.
All slipped stitches are slipped purlwise.
The Herringbone stitch pattern is both written (see Stitch Instructions) and charted (page 3) for your preference.
