Giethoorn Cowl
Giethoorn Cowl
The Giethoorn Cowl features easy stranded color work using two contrasting colors. There is no "catching floats", as you will be changing colors every two stitches in the body of your cowl. The simple four row repeat makes this a fun and relaxing knit and before you know it, you will be dreaming of being in a boat that is floating leisurely down a Giethoorn canal.
This pattern is written for 5 yarn weights: DK, Worsted, Light Bulky, Bulky and Super Bulky, and a link to a video tutorial is included for the special stitch.
