Sleigh All Day Advent Cowl

**The Sleigh All Day Cowl** A 24-day advent knitting adventure with lace and brioche. This pattern is written for a 24-skein advent calendar with 10- or 20-gram minis in a fingering weight. You may substitute the mini skeins with scraps and leftovers or a combination of full skeins in two or three colors. The pattern includes different sections of lace repeats, one-color brioche and texture, making this a fun, beginner-friendly project, broken down into day by day instructions. This cowl is knit in the round, utilizing a provisional cast on to create an infinite tube to wrap yourself in when the weather turns colder. **Materials & Supplies Needed** * US 6 (4.0 mm) 16” circular needle, or size required to obtain gauge * Darning needle * Stitch Markers (at least 1) * 24 20g (80yds) OR 10g (40yds) fingering weight mini skeins * 100g (400yds) of a fingering weight yarn in a contrasting color (optional for brioche sections) **Yarn Used in Samples** 2022 The Fibre Fox Advent Calendar 24 - 20g mini skeins on Merino Singles **Alternative Ideas** * If you’d like to work the Two-Color Brioche Sections, I highly recommend adding a 100- gram tonal to use as your CC color. Be aware that the CC will only show through the front (right) side of the cowl since the wrong side will be the inside of the tube. * You can work the Garter Sections in the CC as well if you prefer a color break between each section. * You can hold a strand of fluff alongside your yarn during the Garter Sections for a pop of fuzzy floof. * If you’d like a wider cowl, cast on additional stitches in multiples of 12.
