Basic Nonsense Fibonacci Cowl - Digital download only
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY
This cowl has been designed as part of the The Bendigo Project’s Knit A-Long, running March-July 2025 in Australia. I love stripes, but I get bored quickly if I am knitting only in stockinette, so I have added a mesh texture to this cowl. As an homage to my love of all things nerdy, I’ve used the Fibonacci sequence as the inspiration for the stripes within this cowl. The Fibonacci sequence is a naturally occurring mathematical phenomenon where every number is the sum of the two numbers before it. If you start at 1, the sequence is as follows:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55…
This sequence is observed in natural settings, such as in pinecones, broccoli florets, pineapples, ammonite fossils and in beekeeping. Some people have even written poetry using the Fibonacci sequence as inspiration for the number of syllables per line, while others use it for algorithms in data analysis.
Designed using 5ply (sport weight) Australian SRS Merino sourced from Great Southern Yarns, and knit using 4.00mm and 3.75mm needles, this cowl is a single size, and is perfect for stash busting and gift knitting. This pattern is aimed at adventurous beginners, and is unisex in its design, meaning it can be worn by men and women.
Design Features: Mesh, stockinette, 2x2 ribbing, knit in the round, jogless colour joins
Yarn Requirements:
Colour A: 100g 5ply SRS Merino
Colour B: 50g 5ply SRS Merino
Both skeins used in the sample were Great Southern Yarns, 5ply (Sport) 100% SRS Merino, 280m/307y per 100g/3.5oz
