Cowlmazoo Pattern by Laura Dobratz

$5.00

Cowlmazoo! Fun to say and fun to knit. It’s knit from the top down in one piece with increases down the front to create the illusion of a shawl. You get the look of a shawl with the stay-on ability of a cowl. I’m not sure that is a proper sentence but you know what I’m talking about.

A funny story about the name…

I finished designing this piece while on vacation with my family in my hometown of Kalamazoo. We were sitting around bouncing around name ideas (I swear naming is the hardest part after photography) when Cowlmazoo was shouted out, I knew it was the perfect name. We couldn’t decide how to spell it so I asked everyone to text me how they would spell it. My Dad… who has selective hearing… texted me “Kalamazoo”. I dismissed it as autocorrect, but when the texting and chatter continued he texted it again and then proceeded to sing the spelling, saying it was easier to remember how to spell things with a song. My dad thought that I didn’t know how to spell the name of the city I grew up in and that all five of his grandkids (4 of them adults) were struggling as well! WHAT?? He’ll never live that down!!

Designed in Emma’s Yarn Beautiful Basic Halves (100% Superwash Merino, 200 yards).
