Designed to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the Kitchener-Waterloo Knitters’ Guild, this cowl features faceted shapes worked in simple knit and purl stitches. Instructions are included for two sizes—adult and child—but the cowl’s reversible stitch pattern is easily adjusted for additional sizes. Two different hem styles are featured, and notes are provided to help you substitute other edge patterns to personalize your project.

Choose red, like the sample—the traditional gift for a fortieth anniversary is ruby, after all—or the colour that best complements your winter wardrobe.

The techniques you will need to know, or learn, to complete this project are:

• cast on and bind off;
• knit and purl;
• knitting in the round.

Thank you to Estelle Yarns for providing the yarn for this project.
