Filoli Cowl by Life is Cozy is an easy-to-wear accessory that offered the comfort of a cozy triangle shawl without the need to style it. It is named after Ksenia's favorite historic house and garden in the SF Bay Area.
The cowl features two types of mosaic patterns and garter stitch. Looking more complex than it is, all that colorwork requires working with just one color per row and the whole cowl is almost completely worked knit and slipped stitches (very little purling).
The piece is knit flat from the back neck towards the wide front section and shaped with increases. The edges are polished with built-in i-cord that is continued in the two-color i-cord bind off, vide tutorial provided. Colors are carried along the edge and hidden in the i-cord edging, so there's no yarn cutting and just a couple of ends to weave in! Mosaic stitch patterns are both charted and written out.
