Knitting isn’t just an art form, it’s practical magic! Take this cowl, for example. With just a few waves of my knitting wands, an unlikely pair of hand-dyed yarns were magically transformed into an eye-catching cowl! If you decide to conjure one up for yourself, beware the dark arts!
These yarns have been known to cast a spell of enchantment, mesmerizing the knitter with their delightful colours and textures. Add a relaxing, rhythmic pattern and you may become unable—or unwilling—to put this project down! Consider yourself warned ;)

THE KNITTY GRITTY
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
20” (51 cm) tall x 14” wide (36 cm) = 28” (72 cm) circumference (un-stretched, gently blocked).
YARN(S)
(MC) Long Dog Yarn Single (100% Merino Wool; 400 yards / 366 meters / 100 grams): 1 skein in colour “Dark Dimension”. Sample used one full skein.
(CC) Hedgehog Fibres Kidsilk Lace (70% Mohair, 30% Silk); 459 yards / 420 meters / 50 grams): 1 skein in colour “Villain”. Sample used one full skein.
Please read note below regarding yarn substitution.
NEEDLES (adjust if necessary to obtain correct gauge)
One 24” (60 cm) circular needle size US 3 (3.25 mm).
One 24” (60 cm) circular needle size US 6 (4.0 mm).
GAUGE
36 stitches / 36 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Corrugated Ribbing.
32 stitches / 31 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in Stranded Colour Work Pattern.
A NOTE ON YARN SUBSTITUTION
If substituting colours, I recommend choosing a MC & CC that are very different in value (ie. one very light or bright + one very dark), otherwise the colours may become muddled. Because this is stranded knitting—MC & CC stitches alternate—colour contrast is also important; be sure your yarns don’t share too many colours in common.
