Cuibhrichte Cowl

Meaning bound in Scottish Gaelic, Cuibhrichte is a simple and fun knit, with three drop stitch braids twisting round the cowl from edge to edge. Cuibhrichte Cowl decreases towards the top edge for a close fitting finish. Perfect for keeping you cosy and keeping the wind out. Wear with the matching mitts and hat to complete the set! The pattern is fully written with photo tutorials for the Drop Stitch Braid and a super stretchy cast-on called the Estonian Cast-On for the bottom of the cowl. The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. **Materials** * 117 (168) m (128 (183) yds) of Eden Cottage Yarns Pendle DK (100% Superwash Merino, 200 m/100g) in Faded Bloom * 4 mm (US 6) circular needles, 40 cm (16”) or longer or DPNs * 6 mm (US J-10) crochet hook * 6 stitch markers * 3 removable stitch markers * Yarn needle for sewing in ends **Gauge** 22 stitches and 31 rows in 10 cm (4”) in stocking stitch in the round. **Finished Size** Child Circumference bottom/top: 50 cm (20”)/42 cm (16.75”) Height: 19 cm (7.5”) Adult Circumference bottom/top: 57 cm (23”)/47 cm (18.75”) Height: 24 cm (9.5”)
