Inside the Designer’s Mind
Caden Cowl is the first fair isle loop cowl that I designed. I wanted to use a simple pattern repeat, in this case 4 and 6 stitches repeat, to create something classic and modern, that will easily match different colour clothes. Knitting this fair isle cowl with a DK weight yarns gives it a chunky feel without being too bulky, it will keep you warm when you loop it around your neck and also looks fashionable when you just hang it as a statement accessory.

It starts by doing a provisional cast-on (crochet method), knitted in the round and then the two ends are grafted together using Kitchener stitch, creating a seamless fabric and at the same time maintaining the fair isle pattern.
