Materials:
1 skein Mango Moon Chakra (66% cotton, 30% recycled viscose, 3% spandex, 1% beads and stones, 75 yds.)
1 ball of Mango Moon Bijou (100% Recycled - 40% Cotton, 35% Wool, 20% Poly, 5% other fibers) Size 10.5 circular needles, at least 20" in length
DirectionsVersion 1:
CO 130 st. with Bijou (B). Do not connect; cowl is worked back and forth, then seamed together. Knit two rows with B. After this, all rows with B are knit row 1, purl row 2. All rows with Chakra (A) are purl row 3, knit row 4. When changing yarns, do not cut. Carry the non-working yarn up the side, bringing the new yarn to the front each time to create a nice edge. Work rows 1 to 4 a total of two times. Continue as follow: 1,2,3,4,3,4 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4,3,4 Repeat row 1 - 4 one more time. Drop Chakra, knit 2 rows with B. Purl 1 row. Knit 2 rows. Bind off loosely. Work in loose ends, then sew the short edges together to form cowl. Wear and enjoy! Version 1 (above), is longer and not as wide. Pictured using Topaz Bijou and Brown/Gold Chakra,it is looped twice around Savannah's neck. Version 2 (right) is shorter and wider. Pictured in Onyx Bijou and Silver/Gray Chakra. We love the versatility of this pattern! Either way, you're sure to enjoy the pop this easy design gives any outfit! Note - The Chakra yarn used is very special. It is hand spun and incorporates beads and stones which are hand tied on a separate thread. It is the nature of this yarn for the beads and stones to work their way to the purl side which is why in this pattern the right side is worked in purl, and the wrong side is knit. When finished, you may wish to push any stones on the wrong side to the front. Gauge is not important, but you will want to use as much of the Chakra as possible, and end with the “B" yarn. The total number of rows worked is not critical, you may get more or less than what is written in the pattern.
