AGNES
The Agnes cowl is a great roosimine knitting pattern for those new to Roosimine (an Estonian inlay knitting technique). It’s a great beginners Roosimine knitting pattern project as it is an easy quick knit but also great for those curious to try using Roosimine in a slightly different way where it is repeated in the round for a woven stranded colourwork knitting look. Perfect for using yarn mini skeins or leftover yarn as contrast colours for a great accessory for the cooler weather and gift knitting.

This cowl is knit seamlessly in the round to make a tube with the ends grafted together using Kitchener stitch. It begins with a provisional crochet cast-on using waste yarn.
The cowl features multiple stitch patterns creating stripes using seed stitch, Kihnu vits knitted braids and roosimine inlay knitting. The roosimine is worked repeated all the way around each round.
Additional length can be added to the cowl by repeating the pattern additional times however more yarn will be needed.
