A cowl knitted in two shades of baa ram ewe Dovestone DK, inspired by the unusual cylindrical shape and the arrangement of offset windows of Candle House, an iconic modern tower block in central Leeds. Corrugated rib creates a cosy fabric perfect for warm neckwear.

Two size options are offered: a closer fitting neckwarmer (63cm/24.75” circumference) and a longer, deeper cowl (90cm/35.5” circumference). Both cowls are 24cm/9.5” deep.

One skein of Dovestone DK in each of two colours (shown in Chevin and Rhubarb) is enough to make either size. You will also need a 5mm/US 8 circular needle, 40(60) cm long and a stitch marker.

The Landmark Collection features seven designs all inspired by Yorkshire landmarks. See the rest of the collection here.
