Worked top-down on circular needles, this pretty cowl uses just one skein of Sarah’s lovely Bluefaced Leicester/Gotland blend DK yarn.

The pattern is formed from a simple rib repeat, with the added twist of strategically increasing or decreasing a stitch so that a classic Van Dyke Check pattern magically appears.

This is a truly absorbing project which gets you hooked from the start, and with such a pretty colour palette you’re bound to be spoilt for choice!
