The Escarpment Cowl – Free Pattern
ByI’ve been working on a collection of new patterns, sort of an addition to my Ombré Knits book, that focuses on small, easy one skein projects that take advantage of gradients, and the first of them is finally here! This is the Escarpment Cowl.
This cowl is the simplest of construction; you start with a garter stitch tab as though it’s a top down triangular shawl and then work as though you’re making a stockinette shawl until it’s wide enough to go around your neck; you then join in the round and keep working until you’re happy with the length. A garter stitch border prevents the curling and a modified kfb creates a nice neat centre line down the front.
Tiny details, big impact :) All you need is one skein of Escarpment DK. 3.5mm needles and three stitch markers. Enjoy! Ravelry Link here.

Hi Patty – I hear you, shipping is brutal. Believe it not, we don’t make a penny on shipping, those are the direct costs from Canada Post. It’s in Canadian dollars, if that helps!
Best,

I downloaded this lovely pattern. On the cover it says that the yarn used was Waterfall and Mt. Fuji. The pattern calls for ONE ball of gradient yarn. Did you use 1/2 ball of each or do you need 1 ball of different colours to make it this size?

Hi Leslie – I used only one ball, correct. I showed the cowl in two different colours; waterfall and Mt Fuji. One is a waterfall cowl, the other is a Mt Fuji cowl – does that make sense?
