LINUM cowl

LINUM is the old Latin name for the flax plant, the source of linen. The linen stitch forms the foundation of this cowl, so the name came quite naturally. The LINUM cowl is a simple yet versatile design, worked in one piece using a main color and a contrast color. Choosing your colors is where the fun begins. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Unconventional combinations often lead to unexpectedly delightful results. So let go, trust the process, and enjoy the ride! **Sizes** child (adult S) adult L **Circumference** The circumference of the finished cowl measures approx. 52 (60) 68 cm (20½ (23½) 26¾ inches). **Height** The height of the finished cowl is 24 (30) 36 cm (9½ (11¾) 14¼ inches). **Gauge** 20 stitches x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in stitch pattern on 5 mm (US8) needles, after washing and laying flat to dry **Suggested needles** Circular needle 4 mm (US6) for ribbing Circular needle 5 mm (US8) for main fabric **Yarn** fingering weight - held double main color: 52 (75) 102 g 211 (305) 414 m 231 (334) 453 yds contrast color: 42 (60) 82 g 176 (252) 344 m 192 (276) 376 yds Yarn amounts are estimates and can vary depending on your knitting tension and any modifications made to length of fit. **Suggested yarn** Lang Yarns Merino 200 bébé (203m/50g) as main color: 100g (100g) 150g and Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy (420/100g) as contrast color: 100g (100g) 100g Lang Yarns Merino 200 bébé (203m/50g) as main color: 100g (100g) 150g and Lang Yarns Super Soxx Color (420/100g) as contrast color: 100g (100g) 100g ★(★) - beginner
