ABOUT
Hearth is where home is—a haven that provides comfort, brings happiness, and offers a sense of security, enabling us to build our most treasured memories. Hearth also evokes the inviting flames of a fireplace during the coldest winters, where we cozy up with our loved ones, books, and knitting needles, planning for warmer days to come while enjoying the season.

CONSTRUCTION
A reversible cowl worked top-down in the round, the Hearth Cowl is knitted holding three strands of yarn together, with colours gradually changed by substituting one strand at a time to create a smooth gradient.

The cowl begins with a 1x1 Invisible Cast-On (instructions provided below), forming a seamless, stretchy neckline. The neckline is worked in ribbing.

After the ribbing, stitches are decreased to transition smoothly into the main pattern, which is provided both as round-by-round written instructions and in chart form.

Increases are worked at regular intervals to widen the cowl, ensuring a comfortable fit around the shoulders.

Before the final ribbing at the base, stitches are increased again.
The cowl is finished with a slightly modified version of the Kitchener Stitch Bind-Off (explained in the pattern), which creates a matching edge to the cast-on.
