Wrap yourself in the cosy, warming glow of a winter hearth with this beautifully modern stranded colourwork cowl. The Hearth Cowl features a captivating flame motif that is as satisfying to know as it is to wear, making it the perfect project for knitters looking to practice their colourwork skills and create a statement accessory.

The idea for this design sparked from the simple comfort of sitting by a crackling fire on a cold evening. I wanted to capture that feeling of warmth and quiet reflection in a wearable garment. The contrast of a solid black flame against a beautiful semi solid allows a uniquely vibrant hand dyed yarn to glow.

Key Features:

• Engaging: The pattern uses a simple, repeating chart that is perfect for beginner stranded knitters looking to practice longer floats.
• Versatile Styling - Designed to fit comfortably around the neck, it pairs equally well with casual sweaters or dressy coats
• Modern Design: The graphic flame design is a striking symmetrical pattern for an edgier look.
