This Cowl Might Not Get You to Narnia, But It’s Pretty Darn Close

A friend of mine shared this pattern on Facebook the other day and I’m completely blown away and smitten with it.

In the Land of Spare Ooom by Sara Ray is a stunning double-knit cowl showing Lucy about to step into the wardrobe and Mr. Tumnus and the lamppost (with optional duplicate stitch to light the lamp).

Because it’s worked in double knitting, the reverse or inside of the cowl shows the same images in reversed colors. It’s a really fun technique, and this project, while a big commitment, would certainly be a showstopper and an object of pride perfect for any Narnia fan.

Have you ever done any double knitting? I’d love to hear what you made! I haven’t done any in a long time but this might just inspire me to get back to it.
