Adorn yourself in flowers all year round!

This snug but luxurious cowl is both practical and pretty.

The pattern is written in such a way that you can use any yarn with a suitable hook. When worked in Aran, it typically uses less than one ball/skein of yarn. Quantities may vary with other yarns.

YOU WILL NEED 300 m Aran yarn, a 5.00 mm hook and a needle for neatening ends.

GAUGE 1 cluster and 3 rows to 2.5 cm (1”). Cluster size will vary in size dependent on yarn chosen. You should aim for a soft pliable texture with good pattern definition and work to measurements as given.

Recommended cowl size is 55 - 60 cm (22-24”) circumference x 20 - 30 cm (8-12”) depth - this is fully adjustable as desired.

This pattern is written in UK terms with a table of US equivalents provided for reference, as applicable. Because of the nature of the flower stitch there are only two differences to remember:

• UK yarn round hook (yrh) = US yarn over (yo)
• UK slip stitch (ss) = US slip stitch (sl st).
