This was the very first colorwork pattern I scribbled on notebook paper many years ago. It started out as a hat, but since has been written up as a headband and now a cowl. I’ve named the pattern after a local rock formation right offshore in Lake Superior, Hollow Rock. There is a beautiful gap in the bottom of this small rocky island, and photographers love to go before sun-up and line the sunrise up with the gap- creating the most beautiful scene of diamond shaped sun rays poking through.

The pattern uses Super Bulky yarn. The cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. The pattern is written in one size but instructions for easily adapting it are included. Shown in Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick.
