About the Pattern

The Trifle Cowl begins with a provisional cast-on and is knit in the round before doing a half twist and kitchenering the whole thing together. The kitchener takes place in the Andalusian stitch section for a totally seamless finish! The cowl features three textures/patterns: Andalusian stitch (Section 1), two-color brioche (Section 2) and pine-cone lace (Section 3).

Yarn support was kindly provided by La Bien Aimée. Thank you so much to the LBA team for empowering me to publish my first design.
