Kalta by Alison Green

Craft: Knitting

Kalta pairs two shades of Ultra Alpaca Light yarn with a geometric mosaic stitch pattern that pops. This cozy cowl has a bandana-style shape that’s fun to make and easy to wear too. This warm, stylish accessory is knit from the top down, first worked flat like a shawl before joining to work the bottom section in the round. 

Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light is a soft blend of superfine alpaca and Peruvian highland wool that comes in a range of solid and heathered shades perfect for pairing up in projects like Kalta! Customize your colors to your favorite outfits or choose a set for a knitworthy person on your gift list!

Mosaic pattern is charted only.
