Sommers Cowl – Project Kit
Sommers Cowl – Project Kit
Worked circularly in two colors of stranded knitting each round, the modern Sommers colorwork pattern blends beautifully from end to end. The two edges are sewn together to create a super cozy cowl that can be worn single or double.
The Sommers Cowl Project Kit includes 8 skeins of our light fingering Studio Blend No. 2 yarn (which is enough for the cowl, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance) and a digital pattern delivered by email at the time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below photographs. Make a color selection to see its yarn combination photo.
