Ombre Cowl Hood is one of our exclusive shop patterns. If you purchase the yarn from us, we will send you the pattern free! Scroll down for yarn requirements. If you purchase the pattern here, it will be emailed to you shortly after you complete your purchase.

This pattern was Hilary's very first, originally designed for Chicago Yarn Crawl 2011 in Shibui Knits Silk Cloud (shown in third photo). It was her first inspiration to blend colors, and if you know her other designs, this won't come as a surprise! Using three different colors with two strands held together, a beautiful five-part ombre is created.

You can use any fuzzy lace weight yarn. We used a combination of our in-house Movers & Makers line and Fuzz Family yarns, which resulted in two tonal colors on the ends and a variegated one in the middle. You could also use Pascuali Mohair Bliss . Not a mohair fan? Try it in Blue Sky Fibers Prairie , which comes in a fabulous range of solids and limited variegations.
