Ursus Cowl (Infinity)
This pattern is a stranded colorwork cowl, knit in the round, working in a tube from left to right of the pattern. A provisional cast on and Kitchener stitch create a seamless finish when joined in the round.
The Ursus motif was designed with my sibling, an avid knitter who shares my love of the Pacific Northwest. This pattern plays with mixing colorwork and texture, creating a cozy cowl you can wear all year long, even if you have to “hibernate” inside due to rainy weather!
