Lozenge cowl

Before the monthly spin-in at Little Shop of Spinning, several of us meet up for lunch. In January, one of us wore a Lozenge cowl she had knit, which led me to making one of my own. Since it calls for sport weight yarn, it seemed like a good candidate for some of the yarn from the natural dye workshop.

Pattern: Lozenge Cowl (free Ravelry download), by Raging Wool
Yarn: merino sport weight (about 100g), dyed with madder, black-eyed Susan, hibiscus, and hollyhock
Needles: US5
Modifications: Cast on using Old Norwegian cast on, bind off with Suspended bind off - both of these add some stretch

The pattern uses slip stitches to accomplish the colorwork - easy peasy! Blocking makes a difference, really opens the lozenges.
