Pluck is the perfect combination of stockinette, colorwork, and lace. Combine your three favorite colors to create a stunning accessory. Pluck yarn from your stash, or support your favorite dyer. Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, it knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl.

The Pluck cowl is the second pattern in the Discover cowl collection. This collection is a 3-cowl collection. The cowls in this collection are knit flat in the shape of a triangle and then joined to work in the round. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.

All three cowls in the Discover collection include:

  • Top-Down, Seamless Construction
  • Shawl-Shaped Wearability
  • Simple, Easy-to-Memorize Colorwork
  • Charts & Written Instructions (even for the colorwork)
  • Endless Stash-Busting Opportunities
