  • Narbeth Cowl Pattern by Aleks Byrd

    PDF Pattern*

    By Aleks Byrd

    The striking weaving patterns of Wales and Estonia inspired this geometric design, which is named after a village in Wales filled with treasured woven textiles in antiques shops. It’s perfect for knitting a modern piece in bold colours, or going for a more subtle effect.

    This cowl is knit in the round to make a tube with the ends grafted together.
    It begins with a provisional cast-on such as a crochet cast-on method with waste yarn.

    Complete the look with Narbeth Mitts!
