Saman Cowl Kit

Description

Love the graphic slip‑stitch stripes of Catherine Salter Bayar’s Saman design? The Saman Cowl Kit lets you knit a fully reversible bandana‑style cowl with just two skeins of Urth Yarns Harvest & Uneek Fingering. It’s a fast, mindful project that looks advanced but relies on simple reversible slipped stitches, no stranded colorwork required.

Color-Shifting Ease, Reversible Style

• Two‑Looks‑in‑One – Basket‑weave texture on one side, dotted color pops on the other; either side faces out.
• Bandana Fit, No Fuss – Triangular front drapes smoothly; 12.5″ neck opening and ~52″ circumference slip on without bulk.
• Beginner‑Friendly Techniques – Knit, purl, slipped stitches, neat I‑cord edges, and a short graft at the end.
• Color‑Changing Magic – Uneek’s self‑striping yarn does the work, hiding minor errors and keeping rows interesting.
• Eco Cred – Naturally dyed Merino and Urth’s “one skein = one tree” reforestation pledge.
