This pattern is available in English and in French as a digital download.
The Fun Fur Cowl is knitted in the round as a seamless tube, starting with a provisional
cast-on. Once the tube is complete, the ends are twisted then grafted together to form the cowl, and the fabric is brushed to achieve its signature faux-fur effect.
MEASUREMENTS
Height: 10” / 25 cm
Circumference: 29” / 74 cm
YARN
❖ Weight: Super bulky
To achieve the fuzzy effect, use a single-ply yarn close to roving. If the yarn has multiple plies twisted together, it will not brush out.
