KNITTING PATTERN -- Geilo Cowl and Hat - P181
Neutral or bright?….there is room to explore colours with this design. This pattern is knitted in the round with a delicate texture for your wardrobe and makes a quick knit as the gifting season fast approaches. This is a simple, yet effective pattern, the cowl is easily lengthened if desired. I would class this knit as suitable for the Advanced beginner. Have some fun playing with colours. The light coloured yarn is a beautiful hand dyed yarn (colour Extra! Extra!) available from ‘The Australian Wool Store’. The darker yarn is the result of over-dying a yarn.
