Lerwick Fair Isle Twisted Cowl Knitting Pattern PDF • Nordic Colorwork Neck Warmer

Lerwick Fair Isle twisted cowl knitting pattern comes as a PDF with written instructions, charts and photos which you can download immediately after the payment. It prints onto A4 or US Letter paper. You will need a program such as Adobe Reader to access it (see adobe.com).
This is intermediate level knitting pattern; the following skills are required: Provisional Cast on, Circular Knitting, Color Knitting, Grafting. This cowl is a great design to practise your Fair Isle knitting. As it's knitted in the round, you knit pattern on the right side only.

The cowl starts with a provisional cast-on and is worked in rounds as a tube. After giving the tube a half twist, the two sets of live stitches — from the provisional cast-on and from the final round — are grafted together using the Kitchener stitch. 

Full pattern support is available by message or email.
