Turkey Tail Cowl
Turkey Tail Cowl
The Turkey Tail Cowl takes inspiration from spectacular mushrooms that form on logs in our backyards and forests. Simple but mesmerizing lace stitch patterns are worked in a rectangle, then seamed in a clever way to create a faux triangle shawl shape that’s easy to toss on to elevate any outfit. This is the kind of project you’ll want to knit while relaxing in your hammock on a sunny day or while taking a beach stroll. The unpredictable colour changes and easy-to-memorize lace pattern will have you knitting just one more row.
This project was a 2024 summer collaboration between Andrea and Catherine of Gauge Dye Works. Get the yarn designed for this project from Gauge.
