Tales of the Tundra Cowl (Knit)

***All 12 clue files will stay included with the purchase of this pattern until January 31, after which time only the final pattern will be available.*** Whether you prefer passing the winter months on a beach in the tropics or can’t imagine life without the snow (that second one’s me), there will always be something alluring about the mountains, northern lights, and amazing wildlife found in the tundra. This cowl takes inspiration from both the Scandinavian and North American tundras, with corrugated ribbing, geometric border details, and a fiercely fluffy colorwork chart that will keep you warm in even the harshest conditions.

That’s up to you!) *This pattern was designed for the Hunt Hand Knits' 2025 Mystery Knitalong.* **WHAT YOU'LL NEED** **Needles** 24” / 60 cm circular needles in size US 3 (3.25 mm) for ribbing 24” / 60 cm circular needles in size US 5 (3.75 mm) or any needle that achieves gauge/desired size for colorwork **Yarn & Yardage** Three high-contrasting colors in DK weight yarn. **Color A:** 164 yards / 150 m (primary contrast color) **Color B:** 98 yards / 90 m (secondary contrast color) **Color C:** 186 yards / 170 m (background color) **Notions** Tapestry needle Scissors 3 stitch markers **SIZING & GAUGE** **Size & Finished Measurements (when finished and blocked)** 13” W x 14.5” H / 33 cm W x 37 cm H laid flat (26” / 66 cm circumference) **Gauge** 22 stitches and 25 rounds for 4” (10 cm) square measured over colorwork pattern in the round after blocking **Join the MKAL group by [clicking here][1]!** Use tag #TalesoftheTundraCowl if posting on Instagram so I can admire your beautiful work!
