Cosy For Ewe Cowl

Cosy For Ewe is a DK weight colour work cowl, a fun cosy knit with sheep on it, I must confess of my love of sheep.
You can knit it in 2 contrasting colours or maybe have fun and try it with a main colour and variegated yarn or even mini skeins !!

The chart is made up of 57 rounds to make a fun pattern, I have also added the chart elements individually so you can mix and match as you want to have fun and create a unique cowl just for you. Each chart has a 14 stitch repeat and you can put them in any order you want or use only one or two.
Let your imagintion have fun.
The full height cowl is made up with 1 each of the sheep and poinsettia charts with 3 of the rectangle pattern charts. You can also make a short height cowl using 2 of the rectangle pattern charts with either the sheep or poinsettia chart in the middle.
Have fun and happy knitting!!
