Camino Cowl

The Camino cowl is an easy and meditative knitting project. The simplicity and repetition of the stitches and the yarn overs make the process effortless and enjoyable, like walking on a smooth path. The cowl is knit from the top center. Increases are done at the edges and center to create a triangle. Once we are done with these increases we knit evenly to give it length. It is then sewn together. This pattern has been designed for the South Eastern Wisconsin Wandering Ewe Yarn Crawl where local yarn stores collaborated with Wisconsin independent dyers to create 10 unique colors. A list of the dyers and the colors used in the sample photographed is provided in the pattern. The pattern is written in US standard terms.
