The Owl Rock, Celadonite, and Micaceous Cowls were all designed specially for Anzula with their DK wool/silk blend, Croquet.
They all use the biasing inherent in the chevron stitch pattern to create interesting patterns in the alternating sets of rounds.
Owl Rock (shown in Watermelon and Natural) is the simplest, with seed stitch bands biased by the chevron pattern. Â Owl Rock is the DK, two-color version of the Chinle Cowl.
Celadonite (shown in Avocado and Natural), biases the triangle pattern of the Mica Cowl.
Micaceous (shown in Avocado and Watermelon), features a simple alternating stockinette/reverse stockinette band that is biased into a nearly 3-D cube-like pattern.
Each cowl is offered in three sizes, uses two colors (though certainly you could work them in single colors), and is worked in US6 needles. Â They work up quickly and are fantastic gifts!
