This flower-filled cowl knitting pattern is a collaborative project between Bloom Woolen Yarns and Liz Sorenson Knitwear of Western Massachusetts Fibershed.
 
Please choose 4-skein color bundle (Frozen Berries or Winter Sunrise) from this page, or shop from the Yearling page and choose 2 Natural Grey and 1 each of 2 other colors of your choice.
 
Note: this bundle does NOT come with pattern - please download the pattern PDF directly from Liz Sorenson Knitwear: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bloom-garden-cowl.
 
The Bloom Garden Cowl is a tubular cowl with stranded colorwork and a mobius twist. Three styles of flowers circle the cowl to keep you intrigued with each motif. Experienced intermediate and advanced knitters will enjoy this project knit in the round. The first section has text instructions, the next two flower sections are charted only.
 
PATTERN: The cowl uses a provisional cast-on seamed at the end with the “invisible” Kitchener stitch and a Mobius twist. If you prefer not to do the provisional cast-on and Kitchener stitch, just cast on and bind off as usual and seam the ends of the tube together when finished as instructed.
 
All techniques are explained in detail, with additional links to instructional videos included.
 
YARN: Bloom's Yearling, 85% wool/15% alpaca; 2 skeins Natural Gray, 1 skein each of 2 different naturally dyed colors
 
NEEDLES: US 7 16” circular (plus an extra US 7 16” circular for grafting as Kitchener stitch)
