A funky, high contrast cowl featuring UFOs flying in outer space. It’s a fun Alien or UFO themed cowl suitable for male or female. Would make a great gift for teenagers. This warm, two-tone cowl is knit in the round using moss stitch and woven floats technique (similar to twining or stranded colour work). Basic chart reading required. Full written chart instructions are included.

The unique woven effect plays with pattern and texture. Choose two high contrast colours. MC makes the longer floats used to create the UFOs or UAPs (light grey in the sample). CC makes the background colour (deep blue). Add your own fun with beads, metallic or shiny embroidery thread. The pattern makes a dense and cuddly cowl using only 3 x 50gm balls.

Woven Floats Technique is something fun to try. There’s a full tutorial here including suggestions for yarns, how to get started, how to find and fix mistakes and an introduction to the Woven Floats cowl series here:
