Filoli Cowl is an easy-to-wear accessory that offers the comfort of a cozy triangular shawl without the need to style it. It is named after my favorite historic house and garden in the SF Bay Area.
The cowl features two types of mosaic patterns and garter stitch. Looking more complex than it is, all colorwork requires working with just one color per row and the whole cowl is almost completely worked with knit and slipped stitches (very little purling, yay!).
The piece is knit flat from the back neck towards the wide front section and shaped with increases. The edges are polished with built-in i-cord that is continued in the two-color i-cord bind off, video tutorial provided. Colors are carried along the edge and hidden in the i-cord edging, so there's no yarn cutting and just a couple of ends to weave in in the end! Mosaic stitch patterns are both charted and written out.

A Verb for Keeping Warm's yarns are dyed naturally with roots, flowers, and leaves in Oakland, California.
La Bien Aimée (LBA) yarns are absolute heaven to knit and to wear. Each skein is a jewel. The nuance in colors have to be seen with your own eyes to be believed. All yarns are handdyed in Paris, France. Day by the Bay is Verb's special custom colorway from La Bien Aimée.
Spincycle yarns are dyed and spun in Washington. Due to their unique dyeing and spinning technique, each skein is on-of-a-kind.

Pattern
This bundle does NOT include the pattern. Please purchase the pattern directly from Ksenia on Ravelry or on Payhip.
CROCKING
When working with yarn dyed with indigo and with medium to dark shades of natural dyes (especially on slick fibers like mohair), it is common and natural for the dye to rub off on one’s hands while making. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra dye. Your handwork is part of the dyeing process. The dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
~~~
ALWAYS use pH-neutral soap when blocking and washing natural dyes.
Please note the fiber content of the material you are working with, and follow the applicable instructions:
Cotton or linen - Machine washable on cool cycle. Lay flat to dry.
Superwash Wool - Machine washable on cool cycle, though hand wash recommended. Lay flat to dry.
Wool and Wool blends - Handwash only in lukewarm water. Lay flat to dry.
