This is a fundraising pattern for my late brother, Mino (1971-2004).

“Orangele” is the forth design for the “Colorful Nicole” cowl series. In this design, somewhat consistent sequence of the texture stitch and stockinette stitch make up this unique rib cowl. You may adjust the length of circumference and/or height of the cowl.

This is a great traveling project. You can watch TV and drink while knitting. Pick your favorite skein and enjoy knitting.

All the proceeds of this pattern will be donated to the Minoru Hokari Memorial Scholarship Fund at the Australian National University. My late brother, Minoru Hokari (“Mino” 1971-2004) died of cancer at the age of 32. The scholarship fund supports young scholars who study Indigenous Australians through fieldwork. We are trying to fully fund it to achieve its perpetuity. Please help.
