Accumulation Cowl Pattern

$6.50

This worsted weight ‘Accumulation Cowl’ is knit in two-color fair isle to create a nicely blended, geometric design. The cowl is knit in the round and creates a long tube. You will place a twist in the middle and then seam both edges together at the end with a kitchener stitch. As a result, you end up with a double-layered fabric that is extra squishy and cozy and has the design facing outward all the way around.

I have written this pattern using a provisional cast on and a kitchener stitch for closing the seam at the end. You will use a tapestry needle to seam together the live stitches from both the cast on and bind off edges. I have included links to video tutorials for both techniques. I have also included 7 photos at the end of the seaming section to help you visualize the seaming technique a little better. The pattern itself is written as a color-coded chart.
