This pattern is available from chasobendesigns.etsy.com for £3.49.

It is knitted in 4-ply on a circular needle. As you can see by the main photo, I have knitted the cowl in 2 different colourways. There is a coloured rib which starts the pattern, then takes you to the main body of the pattern and finishes with the coloured rib. There is a clear, colourful chart to show the Fair Isle pattern.

Measurements
Finished size - when laid flat, 25-29 cm (9.75” - 11 1/4”) x 17 cm (7”, (so 19.5’ - 22.5” in the round), although by increasing the number of repeats, you can make it longer. The yarns suggested will do several more repeats than stated in the pattern.

Tension
Stocking Stitch: 28 sts x 36 rows – 10cm x 10cm/ 4” x 4 (Fair Isle can vary in tension, so please do a tension square, yes we all hate doing them )

Materials
The cowl is knitted in the round with a 60cm 3.25mm circular needle.
