Under the Mountain Cowl

ACOTAR Inspired Fair Isle Cowl (Night Court Mountains & Feyre's Tattoo) A wearable tribute for anyone who fell in love with the Night Court. This cowl was designed with A Court of Thorns and Roses in mind — the exterior colorwork echoes the iconic mountain-and-stars motif, while a hidden interior panel takes inspiration from Feyre's tattoo. Fold it, and only you know the second design is there. Worked in the round on two needle sizes, this is a double-thickness colorwork cowl: the inner layer folds up inside the outer layer and joins invisibly at the cast-on edge. Two full charts, both fully written out row-by-row AND charted, so you can work from whichever you prefer. Fair warning: people will recognize it. PATTERN INCLUDES Full written row-by-row instructions (both charts) Both charts provided as colorwork grids Two finishing method options Materials, gauge, and notes sections SKILL LEVEL Intermediate — comfortable with stranded colorwork, floats, and reading a chart. This pattern is worked in knitting, not crochet.
