Garden Cowl: Rise Up Design 5 from Knit Equals Joy

Garden Cowl

The Garden Cowl is the Fifth Rise Up Design.  Go here to buy the Rise Up Collection of seven designs, by seven designers, and seven ways to Rise Up.  Purchase the single pattern here after February 9.

Garden Cowl is a bold, colorful design. The design is worked so that there are two “faces” of the fabric. Abstract diamonds and a whimsical flower are worked in color with a white background on one face, and on the other, they are worked in white with a colorful background. Stripes and a colorblock section complete the look. The cowl is knit as a tube in the round and sewn together at the end. It is long enough to wrap around twice in really cold weather.

This can be a great stash-buster; approximately 75 yards each is all that is needed for four of the six colors, along with a few skeins each of the background color and the flower/colorblock color.
