The Fluff Cowl is a stockinette column knit in the round with a garter border on either end. It’s knit with one strand of FDF Oh Dang! and one strand of FDF Spinster’s Daughter Sport held together to create a soft, fluffy fabric with some structure to it.

The Lace Cowl is a lace panel which begins with a provisional crochet cast, is knit flat and then joined to the beginning with a three-needle bind off (suggested video tutorials provided). It’s knit with FDF Spinster’s Daughter Sport, which creates a very bouncy lace with excellent definition.

SIZE

1 size – finished cowls are approximately 12” tall with a 22” circumference

YARN

3 skeins total:

• 1 skein - Oh Dang! Lace By The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers

• 1 skein Main color - Spinster’s Daughter Sport by The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers

• 1 skein Contrast color – Spinster’s Daughter Sport by The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers

Based on test knitting, you will likely use about 60% of the Oh Dang! Lace and 75% of each of the Spinster’s Sport colors, making this a good pattern for sweater leftovers.

- * BUT * - keep in mind that your mileage will vary and a little yardage padding will make sure you don’t run out halfway through the bind off.
