Introducing Sueño Fingering by HiKoo®! This fabulous new yarn is perfect for shawls, cowls, sweaters, and more. Get the Encaustic cowl pattern as a FREE gift with code sueno through Saturday, October 31, 2026.

Bold geometric tiles march around this graphic tubular cowl. The name comes from encaustic tile, where the pattern is built into the clay itself rather than glazed on top. Stranded colorwork does the same thing, so the motif runs all the way through the fabric. It’s the kind of project you’ll love knitting as much as wearing. Or gift it to someone knit-worthy in your life. Two contrasting colors of Sueño Fingering by HiKoo® create a fabric that’s soft, polished, and light.

This project is worked in the round using knitting techniques including:

• Provisional cast on
• Reading charts
• Stranded colorwork
• Kitchener/grafting
