The Sauron Cowl is a stranded colorwork project. Knit in Malabrigo Vientos, its airy softness and drape make it both comfortable and captivating.

The name came to life after I finished the sample: I showed it to my partner, and he said, “I see the Eye of Sauron,” and it just stuck. An accessory full of character and story.

It’s easy enough for a first colorwork project, as well as for those learning to work with charts.

With two skeins (1 MC and 1 CC) you can make the Cowl and the matching Hat.
