Spring Dawn Cowl

• Cosy weekend project
• Customisable length
• Unusual construction

Spring Dawn is inspired by those first buds that break the cold ground and allow us start believing that winter may finally be coming to an end. This light weight cowl is perfect for those sunnier spring days, that aren't yet as warm as they look. 

Featuring an unusual construction, I've designed this cowl to use as much of one skein of yarn as possible, making it perfect for those special skeins. The pattern begins with a provisional cast on and finishes with Kitchener stitch, allowing you to knit shorter rows back and forth, while still providing a seamless finish. This method of construction also makes it easy to customise the length of the cowl, should you have more than one of those special skeins, or simply prefer a longer cowl.

The pattern features a striking dropped stitch pattern, which with the clearn written and charted instructions in this pattern you'll find a doddle. Should you require any help with the techniques used in this pattern, you can find a list of handy resources on my Substack, with new ones being added all the time.
