The Holland Cowl brings together the beauty of intricate knitting and floral design. The cowl is worked in the round using two contrasting colors to create a striking, repeated motif of tulip blooms. The stranded colorwork technique adds texture and warmth, as the yarn carried behind the stitches provides extra insulation. This cowl is perfect for brightening chilly days with its soft, cozy feel and vibrant tulip design.

PATTERN NOTES
This cowl is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up.

The entire cowl is worked in the round using stranded knitting and is charted only. While working stranded knitting, you will need to catch your floats along the inside of the work approximately every 5 stitches. Take care not to carry your unused yarn too tightly across the wrong side of the work to prevent puckering in the fabric.

You may wish to place stitch markers between each pattern repeat to help you stay on track. If you do, make sure to use a unique marker for the beginning of round.
