This kit includes a paper copy of the Peacock Cowl Pattern and 1 x 100g plus 2 x 50g skeins of Choufunga Sock or Patsy DK, which can be chosen from the drop down menus.
Put your best colours on display with this three colour Peacock Cowl. Inspired by At Birkhill House’s resident peafowl pair, Herman & Marguerite, the pattern is suitable for a variety of yarn weights and sample details are included for working with 4ply and DK. Worked in the round, with a combination of written and charted instructions, the completed cowl is fully reversible, with the working side of your knit completely hidden for a clean finish.

The cowl is made up of three simple elements, which can be worked in any order or repeated as many times as you like. I have included instructions for working the pattern as shown in the samples. Change it up if you like, to add more or less of any element, keeping in mind that yardages will vary if you do.
