A textured cowl in soft, chunky merino. It’s quick to knit up and is great as a Christmas present. The dimple stitch used creates a deep honeycomb structure on the reverse side which makes it perfect for keeping warm without the bulk of a scarf. The finished cowl is 30cm deep, with a circumference of 64 cm.

The cowl takes 200g of chunky yarn and is knitted flat and then sewn together. Buy it together with our hand dyed yarn for £30 plus p&p from www.nativeyarns.co.uk

In addition to the yarn and pattern, you will need 7mm needles (straight or circular) and a tapestry needle.
