Are you ready for some fun as we get those knitting needles clickety-clacking along? Then I hope you’ll join me and my friends from Makers’ Mercantile for some colorful views during our Funicular Cowl Knit Along.

We’ll be using a gradient ring of Schoppel’s Zauberperlen and a contrasting ball of Uniperle to knit a bandana cowl with contrasting edging and a geometric cog motif. The colorwork uses simple intarsia and mosaic knitting, two techniques that definitely won’t leave you stranded.

Getting ready is as easy as 1-2-3!

  1. Get your kit from Makers' Mercantile -OR- use yarn from your stash and get just the pattern.
  2. Join the discussion on Ravelry to ask questions, share your progress and cheer on other knitters.
  3. Watch a video from the Funicular Cowl KAL playlist on YouTube each Thursday in September.

Knitting begins on Thursday September 5, 2024

Guided Lesson Topics

To guide you along as we travel up the knitting mountain together I've created 4 helpful videos that will be available for free on YouTube and ad-free for paid members here on our website. Topics include:

  • Week 1 - casting on, joining our CC yarn, working the i-cord edging and starting the intarsia color change
  • Week 2 - getting comfortable with mosaic knitting
  • Week 3 - the Icelandic BO and blocking tips
  • Week 4 - finishing by joining the edges together

I can hardly wait to take this fun Funicular journey with you!
