Try a Flight is a fingering weight cowl that uses many of the techniques and stitch patterns from the other patterns in the Craft Beer Collection. The cowl is worked in the round from each end, then joined, a little off center, by an I-cord bind off. Each side begins with 2 color brioche, then has 2 different lace patterns before joining the 2 sides together. The lace patterns are both charted and written out. There is also a video tutorial for the I-cord bind off to join the 2 sides.
This is a fun cowl to knit. It goes fast and uses just a small amount of 3 different colors of fingering weight yarn.
