Looking a bit like Jack-O-Lanterns, a bit like trees, a bit like leaves, and even a bit like “arrowheads” (according to my son), this cowl embraces everything autumn. If you are new to fair isle, this is a great first pattern as the ribbing will ease you into the technique. The pattern, as written, creates a snugger fit keeping your neck warm and cozy, but additional pattern repeats could easily be added if a looser look is desired. Both charted and written instructions are provided as well as a lot of other information to help guide you through this knit. Requires about 230 yards total.

Please note: US size 6 needle is recommended, this is the same as a 4mm needle.
