The Floria Cowl is a soft and fluffy knit, with a playful floral stitch pattern. It is a cosy layer to tuck inside your coat or wear over your favourite sweater.

Floria is worked from the top down, first in the round, then divided into front and back panels, which are worked flat following a chart. The finished length from the neck edge to the tip is 35 cm / 13¾ inches.

You will need 100 g (2 skeins), approximately 300 m / 328 yards, of DROPS Air or Sandnes Kos. Viking Alpaca Bris or a similar yarn that gives the correct gauge may also be used.

The cowl is worked using 4.5 mm / US 7 and 5 mm / US 8 circular needles, 40–80 cm / 16–32 inches long. The gauge is 17 stitches and 24 rows in stockinette stitch, or 18 stitches and 24 rows in the floral stitch pattern, per 10 × 10 cm / 4 × 4 inches using 5 mm / US 8 needles.

The pattern includes charts and a link to a video tutorial to guide you through knitting the flowers. Try them on a small swatch before casting on to get comfortable with the technique.

The Floria cowl is part of a collection with a matching hat and sweater.

Your purchase includes both the English and Norwegian versions of the pattern.
