Try out the magic of double knitting!
An exclusive design by Meret Bützberger, better known as the Swiss Double Knitting Queen Butzeria. Designed exclusively for our Making the Fair Way Project Club and now available to the world!
This cowl in Eco-Fusion will look great in itself, or together with your Bloom top. The cotton & bamboo blend is perfect for everybody who likes some warmth (comfy, but not too hot) around their neck and shoulders.

About the pattern & skills
The cowls are worked in double knitting and in the round from the bottom up. The simple but impressive stitch pattern gives you endless possibilities to play with color combinations. We made two combos for you, but please set your creativity free and choose your favorite color.
For a double knitting project, this is an easy pattern. Obviously it does require double knitting, but it is a great little project to get acquainted with this technique. You can find a cast-on tutorial video on Merets website. (And do make sure to check out her other double knitting patterns, once you are addicted!)
The pattern includes written instructions and a chart.
You can always ask for help in our Facebook group. Also check out Meret's Facebook Group: The Magic of Double Face Knitting.
Techniques used:
- 2 Color cast on;
- Circular knitting;
- Double Knitting: Two right sides are worked at the same time, using two different colors. Important to know: the charts show the front sides sts only, the back side sts are worked simultaneously.
