Your footsteps make almost no sound. The snow-filled ravine is still, but under the white blanket, a quiet trickle is moving. A whisper of hope, of spring approaching. But for now, a cold wind blows across the coulee, and you snuggle a little further into your cowl. On you trudge, the trickle fading in the distance.

Coulee Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up in a cable and lace pattern. Choose from three different sizes - Small, for a snug fit; Medium, for a looser fit; and Tall, for a gathered, snug fit. Coulee Cowl is suitable for worsted or aran weight yarns that block well, in solid or semi-solid colours.

Yardage: 205 (340, 400) yards/ 187 (310, 365)m or 1 (2, 2) skeins of Tanis Fiber Arts Orange Label. Tall sample shown in Ravine (OOAK similar to Stormy), Small sample shown in Chris Grey. If substituting, choose a solid or semi-solid worsted or aran weight yarn that blocks well.

Gauge, in pattern: 28 sts = 5.2”/13 cm and 32 rows = 5.5”/13.5 cm. Exact gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect finished size and yardage. Gauge is equivalent to roughly 18-20sts = 4”/10cm in stockinette.
