Zebra Cowl

Cowl knitted in the round. You begin with a ribbed cuff. Then knit the zebra pattern in fairisle technique with two contrasting colours.

Materials:

You need DK Yarn in two contrasting colours. Gauge of 22 stitches by 27 rounds (per 4”/10cm) for colour work in stockinette in the round after blocking.

You will need about 170m per colour, and for the ribbing another 80m in one colour (170m + 80m = 250m)

Size

Finished size of the cowl, when measured flat after blocking (width x height):

12.5”/32cm x 9.5’’/24cm without ribbing or 13’’/32cm with ribbing.

Circumference of the cowl, when measured in the round after blocking:

Variation:

Using Sport weight yarn with a gauge of 24 stitches per 4’’/10cm, the cowl will be shorter and tighter, with a circumference of approximately 23’’/58cm.
