Hawk Mountain brings you back to nature. The pattern is named for part of the Blue Mountain Ridge in the Appalachian Mountain Chain in Northeastern Pennsylvania. A 2,600 acre Hawk Sanctuary nestled in the chain gives you the best view of the valleys below and the migrating hawks that ride the thermals above.

In lieu of a discount (which I normally do for new patterns), 15% of pattern sales from now until the end of February 2021 will go to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. https://www.hawkmountain.org/

Hawk Mountain is a warm, double knit pattern that is completely reversible and is designed to fit in a single loop around your neck.

Double knitting in the round is easier on my brain than double knitting flat and a good introduction to the technique. No pesky reversing the pattern in your head as you flip from back to front - the color you see on the chart is the color you knit first! No worrying about selvedge edges! What could be better!

Notes about the pattern:

Charted.
Two colors of yarn are needed with approximately 200 yards per color.
Links to videos are included for basic double knitting techniques, as well as cast on/cast off variations for a little more customization of your cowl.
