The Flutterby Cowl is a joyful DK-weight knit that combines color and texture in the sweetest way. Worked in the round from the bottom up, this cowl features rows of gathered stitches that form tiny “butterflies” fluttering across a soft stockinette background.

Designed to use 100 g of a main color and about 35–40 g of contrast yarns, it’s the perfect project for Advent minis, leftovers, or scrap yarns waiting for their moment to shine. The pattern includes a step-by-step video tutorial for the stitch pattern, making it easy for adventurous beginners and relaxing for experienced knitters.

Written for a large size, with notes included for customizing your fit and width.
