Skerrie Cowl by Daniella Taylor was our Knit-Along.
This fun pattern is a kind of knitting sampler which consists of different stitches and patterns to create bands of texture and colour (or you can use one col- our throughout if you prefer).
Knitted in the round, there are five bands with a garter stitch band between each one. The colours change between each band as the texture changes. I recommend making the colour change in one of the rounds of the garter stitch band if you can; or simply start the new colour when the first runs out. I like to think that you are blending from one to another like a watercolour painting.

Skerries Cowl - Knitting
All our yarn is hand dyed in Northern Ireland. As each skein is hand painted there will be variations between each skein even in the same dye batch. It is recommend that when making a larger project you alternate skeins to avoid pooling.
