Ruthven Cowl

Cabled waves ripple across the surface of this generously sized cowl, suggesting the fresh beauty of the loch it’s named for. The angled seam adds dramatic interest and a softly spreading shape.

Lustrous BFL/silk from The Wool Kitchen makes for a fluid, glowing fabric to wrap you in comfort after a swim – or any other time.

Sizes

3.75 mm circular or straight needles
4 mm circular or straight needles

Yarn

The pattern requires 640 m / 700 yds DK yarn. I recommend using a rounded yarn that will give good stitch definition to the finished cowl. The finished fabric should have good drape at the stated gauge.
Sample is made using:
The Wool Kitchen BFL Silk DK, 55% Blue Faced Leicester, 45% Silk, 212 m / 232 yds per 100g skein.
Colourway: Wild Swimming, 3 skeins

Tension

20 sts and 30 rows over 10 cm / 4 in, in stocking stitch.
Gauge is not critical but will affect the finished dimensions and the amount of yarn used.

Needles

3.75 mm circular or straight needles
4 mm circular or straight needles
