Step into the heartwarming world of Eagle Bend Alpaca Farm with the All Breeds Cowl – a mosaic knit cowl that draws inspiration from the idyllic landscape and the captivating creatures living in perfect synchrony in Burlington, Kentucky. This unique cowl design is a loving tribute to 40 show-quality alpacas and award-winning Cormo sheep that roam 52 acres of peak Bluegrass beauty, where rolling hills meet pastoral landscapes, and friendships flourish.
I designed this cowl as a skill-building pattern for the confident advanced beginner looking to expand their skills, or an interesting project for an intermediate knitter. The geometric sheep design is created with mosaic knitting — a way to create a colorwork pattern while holding only one yarn at a time. Working in stockinette stitch in the round, you’ll only need to knit & slip stitches.
The mosaic stitch pattern reflects the harmonious existence of the alpacas and sheep, their unique fibers intricately woven together, just like the bond they share at Eagle Bend Farm. The All Breeds Cowl is more than just an accessory; it’s a tangible connection to the heart and soul of a remarkable farm and its inhabitants. Wrap yourself in the embrace of the alpaca’s softness and the Cormo sheep’s woolly warmth. As you knit this cowl, cherish the harmony that nature so effortlessly weaves into our lives.
