Interval Training Cowl | Knitting and Embroidery Pattern

Interval Training is a unique design, combining knitted colorwork with embroidery. The merger of these two art forms yields a gorgeous, eye-catching cowl. The pattern is a perfect way to play with color, whether it be using just two colors for maximum impact or a gradient set for a more subtle shift in hues. The colorwork and the embroidery are simple, making this pattern a marvelous introduction to both techniques. In fact, this is how the name for the pattern came to be. “Interval“ represents the 1x1 colorwork throughout the cowl and the rate of subsequent application of embroidery and “training” indicates that the design is a perfect way to practice both your colorwork and embroidery skills! The cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up, incorporating five sections of colorwork. Decrease rounds are worked before the last three sections of colorwork to give the cowl its wearable and attractive shape. The pattern includes separate directions for gradient and two-color cowls.
