The cozy Iris cowl was part of our Mystery bags this season.

It takes just a single skein of Quincy yarn to knit this cowl in the round. The bottom border shows off a lovely, yet simple lace border and the skeins are perfectly arranged, so you simply knit upwards starting with the squishy grey, ending with the textured coffee color.

The only color changes in the skeins are in the textured and two tone middle portion, everything else is the same in all color ways. Only two ends to weave in! Yay!

The pattern is fully written and also offers you a chart for the bottom lace. The slightly blocked dimensions are 22" in circumference and 13" in height.

The knit kits include

• A skein of Quincy, 200 yards in various weights ranging from Light fingering to fingering and DK weights with 5 colors per skein. The yarns are a textured thick and thin cotton, a thick and thin cotton/poly, a Polyamide and a cotton & linen blend.
• The printed pattern and emailed PDF file.
• All packaged in a convenient project bag.

Notions needed

• US size 6 (4 mm) circular needle 20" (51 cm) in length.
• One stitch marker to mark beginning of round.
• Darning needle or crochet hook for finishing.

Gauge:  6 sts and 10 rows in 2" of stockinette stitch done with DK weight yarn.

Techniques applied: Knitting and purling in the round, color changes, lace knitting, stretchy bind off, weaving in ends and blocking for best results.

Enjoy your pretty cowl!
