Fuchsia Snowflakes Cowl

The Fuchsia Snowflakes Cowl features a tessellation snowflake design based on traditional Scandinavian knitting. Modeled after the bold Snowflake Infinity Scarf from February 2017, this cowl sits perfectly around the neck and provides just the right amount of extra warmth and coziness. Knitted as a single layer tube and in the round, this fair isle beauty is guaranteed to be a favorite this season.

Pattern Notes

This pattern is knitted as a single layer tube in the round.

Always bring the MC up under the CC when changing colour, this ensures that the motif is dominant on the background.

The longest float in this design in 5 sts, so the floats do not need catching in place.

Finishing

Weave in all ends.

    I am very dismayed to discover that there is no download links at all on this page, not even for the necessary chart that is crucial to complete this project. Please correct this as I would dearly love to make this for several friends for gifts.

    This is just beautiful! Such a cheery & festive combination of stitches & colours. I am excited to start this project. Instructions mention a “Snowflake Chart”, but I can not locate it on the pattern page. Usually downloads are located under the photo column, but I doesn’t appear there. Should I look somewhere else? Many thanks!!
