Inside the Designer’s Mind
Ash Cowl is a fair isle cowl that is worked in the round, knitted with light fingering weight yarn. In this design, I play with colour change, creating a positive/negative effect, giving a modern take to this classic snowflake motif. You can choose two of your favourite colours and simply just follow the chart, and this beautiful pattern will slowly appear in front of your eyes.
