Pattern: Reversible Diamond Cowl


I’m so excited to have this pattern featured by Yarnthology, a wonderful website committed to carefully selecting yarn brands based on how they treat people, animals, and the environment. You can find a more printer friendly version of this pattern on their blog. 

Materials:

Size 7 (US) circular needles
2 skeins Malabrigo: Rios in Natural
2 skeins Malabrigo: Rios in Teal Feather (you can purchase the beautiful yarn here).
Stitch markers
Gauge:
4 x 4 inches = 26 rows x 17 sts
Finished Measurements:
70 inches (circumference) x 11 inches
Abbreviations:
K – Knit
P – Purl
SSK – slip the first stitch as if to knit, slip the second stitch as if to knit, then slide the left needle into the front of both slipped stitches and knit them together
Overview:
This cowl uses double knitting and has a diamond pattern colorwork on 2/3 of the cowl and solid colored broken seed stitch on the remaining 1/3 of the cowl. The colorwork looks complicated, but it’s quite repetitive and easy to memorize so you don’t have to constantly glance at the chart.
Pattern Notes:
The Main Color (MC) is Natural and the Contrast Color (CC) is Teal Feather. In double knitting, you work using both the MC and CC.
For the written instructions below, you work two consecutive stitches for one stitch in the pattern. For the pattern chart below, each block represents two consecutive stitches. For example, if the pattern calls for you to knit the next stitch, then knit the next stitch in the indicated color while both strands are held to the back, and purl the next consecutive stitch in the opposite color while both strands are held to the front.
The chart is read right to left starting at the bottom right corner.
Chart Key:
 Knit in MC
Knit in CC
Instructions:
CO 199 sts using MC only. Place markers after 140 sts and at the beginning of the round.
Set up row: Begin knitting in the round. In each stitch, K with the MC and P with the CC in the same stitch. This will double the number of stitches on your needles to 398.
Round 1: Work across first 280 sts, until marker, following the colorwork chart. Slip marker, *K1, P1* to last stitch, K1, slip marker.
Round 2: Work following the colorwork chart until marker, slip marker, K across to end marker, slip marker.
Round 3: Work following the colorwork chart until marker, slip marker, *P1, K1* to last stitch, P1, slip marker.
Round 4: Repeat Round 2.
Repeat Rounds 1-4 until you have worked all lines in the colorwork chart and have five rows of diamonds.
Bind off using MC only. *SSK the first two stitches together, SSK the next two stitches together, pass the first SSK stitch over the second SSK stitch on the right needle* until the end.

Row 6: K2, yo, *K1, P1.* Repeat from * to * until last st, K1
Row 7: *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * until last 3 sts, P across 
 
Repeat Rows 4-7 until piece measures approximately 19 inches wide, or your desired width for the point of the triangle. For the picture, I found the color of the yarn that was in the middle of the skein, then found the middle of that color before I started working it and placed a marker. When I reached the marker, I began the decrease rounds below, which makes the triangle point in the dead center of the center color yarn. Alternatively, if you want to have the triangle point at a color change, then begin the decrease rounds below when the colors change in the yarn.
Decrease Rounds:
Row 8: Ssk, K1, yo, ssk, *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * until last st, P1
Row 9: *K1, P1.* Repeat from * to * until last 3 sts, P across
Row 10: Ssk, K1, yo, ssk, *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * to end
Row 11: *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * until last 4 sts, P across
Repeat Rowa 8-11 until you only have 5 sts remaining
Row 12: Ssk, K1, yo, Ssk
Row 13: P across
Row 14: Ssk, K across
Row 15: P across

Remove live stitches from scrap yarn and place them on a double pointed needle. You should have 26 sts distributed evenly between four needles, though the first and third needle should have one more stitch each than the second and fourth needle. Begin knitting in the round.

Round 4: *K2, Inc, K until the end of the needle, K across next needle until last 3 sts, Inc, K2.* Repeat from * to * end.

Round 5: Needle 1 – K2, Inc, K across needle
