Destination Unknown

This is the Destination Unknown Cowl from Cheryl Faust. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Like the ever-changing direction of our journey through life, the twists and turns of the path are often a mystery. My Destination Unknown Series celebrates this journey and encourages us to find joy in the unexpected, chase our dreams and greet each new day with excitement for the opportunities to explore and create.

Destination Unknown Cowl is a top down, bandana style cowl. Its captivating herringbone stitch pattern is deceptively simple to create using the mosaic knitting technique, working with just one color per row. You’ll begin knitting flat with an I-cord tab cast on. After working multiple pattern repeats flat, you’ll join the ends and begin knitting in the round. This construction method requires no seeming. 

The slow and dramatic color changes of Spincycle’s Dream State capture the essence behind my design inspiration perfectly. Be prepared to experience a delightful surprise as you knit each row/round.




Cheryl used a DK weight yarn for the main colour and Spincycle Dream State for the contrast. I think this would look amazing in Rios. Use a semisolid for the main colour and a multi for the contrast. Take a look at our combinations for the Killer Queen Cowl - I think any of these would work.

If you ordered yarn on Thursday or yesterday morning make sure you check your front porch. Quite a few people had their boxes delivered by UPS today. 

Now it’s time for a bit of knitting.
