Cat Cowl - two sessions

The Cat Cowl is a Möbius-style cowl featuring a whimsical cat-themed colorwork motif. It begins with a provisional cast-on, and the body is worked in the round using stranded colorwork. Briana Arlene's design celebrates our absolute favorite mammal with a bold Gesalt-style cat motif. Not only will this pattern challenge your chart reading skills you will also learn ladderback jacquard, a great technique when you have multiple, sequential rows or rounds with large floats.

Unrelated to this actual workshop but if you've ever wondered how we pick projects: We are obsessed with designer, Briana Arlene. This pattern was one of many we looked at when thinking about a ladderback jacquard project. But from her website we found kinship, "I believe slow crafts matter more than ever in a world that often feels chaotic and unjust." We think this will be one of many patterns we cast on this year.

Limited to 5 students (16 yrs of age or older); 2 students are required for class to meet. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment, you will receive a full refund.
