I used the barred technique to create a kind of swirl pattern. The name was obvious - I had to name it after the recipient - and it became the Cha Cha Cowl.
I hope you enjoy knitting it as much as I did - I have already knit three of them!
Stats:
Pattern: Cha Cha Cowl by Jody Scofield
Yarn: Valley Yarns Coltrain - about 100 yards
Needles: Size 7 Addi Turbos

My lovely friend Coleen is modeling the cowl here - isn't she cute :)
Sarah's sister Jen is modeling yet another version of the Cha Cha cowl. This time it was knit with a bulky weight yarn. I cast on only 84 stitches for this one instead of 102 for the worsted weight cowl. As long as you use a multiple of 6 - you can adjust the size as needed.
This cowl is knit using Wool in the Woods Sophie - unfortunatley this yarn is discontinued, but it's very similar in weight to Malabrigo or Manos. I knit it on size 9's instead of 7's
I also knit one with sock yarn held double. It's going to be a Christmas gift though - so no pictures yet! But I can say it looks really cool! I used a skein of Socks that Rock Lightweight and had just enough in one skein to knit the cowl.
I hope you like the new pattern!

Cant wait to knit one for myself!
Hi there--been reading and enjoying your blog for awhile now but am horrible at commenting. But saw your new design and simply had to stop by to comment how much I like it. It's beautiful...I'll be adding this to my queue for after the holidays!
It's beautiful! Do you think a newbie can manage it? Well, I'm not SO new at K and P but have never really attempted a design before. -- Michele
NIFTY!
I am SO making one of those! I love the texture of the stitch pattern!!!

Like I'm not already cowl obsessed enough, you have to go and release another lovely cowl pattern into the universe. Thank you!

Of course, I may be a bit biased. :D
