Cosy For Ewe Cowl

Cosy For Ewe is a DK weight colour work cowl, a fun cosy knit with sheep on it, I must confess of my secret love of sheep. You can knit it in 2 contrasting colours or maybe have fun and try it with a main colour and variegated yarn or even mini skeins !! I have suggested my favourite yarns and the sample was knitted in Stylecraft Special DK in MC Wild Orchid CC Purple Smoke (Size 1 - MC 132m/45g CC 74m/25g) **MATERIALS :-** DK yarn 225m (245yds)/100g. 1 (1, 1)skein MC, 1 (1, 1)skein CC or 5 x 20g mini’s 4mm x 40cm (US 6 x 16”) circular needle or size needed to obtain gauge.

Each chart has a 14 stitch repeat and you can put them in any order you want or use only one or two. Let your imagintion have fun. The full height cowl is made up with 1 each of the sheep and poinsettia charts with 3 of the rectangle pattern charts. You can also make a short height cowl using 2 of the rectangle pattern charts with either the sheep or poinsettia chart in the middle. Have fun and happy knitting!!
