Frabjous is a deceptively simple pattern that works up quickly. It’s pretty quilted design gives a warm and cosy fabric, perfect for snuggling around your throat on a cold winters day. The cowl looks great on both men and women and can be made uniquely yours by the colourway chosen. Black and white monochrome would look stunning, or try combining a hand dyed variegated yarn with a plain partner for a more subtle effect.

Suitable for confident beginners that are used to working in the round and are keen to learn new simple techniques.

Size (After gentle blocking): Approximately 8 inches/20.5 cms deep and with a circumference of 26 inches/66.5 cms. Details are given to increase size. Gauge is not vital for this garment.

Method: Worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up and because the colours are carried up the inside as you work, there are just a few ends to weave in.

5.00 mm circular needles. Stitchmarker. Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
