I’m obsessed with patterns that are simple but still have a super-striking impact. That’s exactly why I designed the Over Fences Cowl. This pattern features the perfect blend of colorwork sections interspersed with stockinette, keeping you engaged but not overwhelmed. The lattice design is created by a stitch repeat that becomes intuitive and starts to flow rhythmically as you knit. Bold, contrasting colors really make the design pop. And since it’s made with DK yarn, the Over Fences Cowl is light yet warm, giving you ultimate versatility throughout the seasons.
