MOSAIC COWL
Level up your winter wardrobe by bundling into this colourful cowl, designed by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk
Make like a Roman and get mosaic happy. Change colour every two rows, skip some stitches and come back to them later!
NOTES
Please refer to the charts on page 93 when making your Cowl. Each small square on the chart represents the size of 1 dc st, but not every square is worked as a dc st.
The tr sts on the Chart are represented by 3 small squares, with a bold outline.
Read all RS rows from right to left and WS rows from left to right. The first and last st of each row should be worked as a dc st. Only change colour every 2 rows. When a second colour appears in a row you should skip those sts and ch the number of skipped sts plus 1. On the next 2 rows in the second colour work a tr st into the skipped st 3 rows below, leaving the ch-sps on the WS. This will be detailed further within the pattern. Change colour on the last yrh on the row before colour change is indicated. You can carry unused yarn up the sides rather than fastening off.
The Cowl is made in one piece, with the first and last rows joined together at the end.
