The striking weaving patterns of Wales and Estonia inspired this geometric design, which is named after a village in Wales filled with treasured woven textiles in antiques shops. It’s perfect for knitting a modern piece in bold colours, or going for a more subtle effect.

PATTERN NOTES
This all over stranded colourwork cowl is knit in the round to make a tube with the ends grafted together. The cowl can be made longer or shorter by working more number of pattern repeats to obtained desired length.

The cowl begins with a provisional crochet with waste yarn. The provisional cast-on in waste / scrap yarn is carefully undone once the cowl is knit to the desired length to place the live stitches onto a second set of needles for grafting using the Kitchener stitch method.
