Soul Vacation is a triangle bandana-style cowl designed specifically to work with Slub and Mohair yarns. It features sections of mosaic knitting, which utilizes slipped stitches to create colorwork designs, alternating with sections of simple stockinette stitch.

Use Emma’s Yarn Mo’ Slub bundles for perfectly-matched Slub and Mohair combinations, or mix it up with complementary contrasting colorways.

Needles: US 5 / 3.75mm, or size to obtain gauge, in 24 - 32” / 60 - 80cm circulars.

Gauge: 20 sts and 32 rows = 4”/ 10cm over stockinette stitch in Slub, blocked and dried. Differences in gauge will affect drape and yardage requirements.
