Funicular Cowl KAL Kit

Join us on an incline! It’s time for the Funicular KAL with The Chilly Dog!

Let’s enjoy the scenery on this guided journey hosted by Ellen Thomas of The Chilly Dog. The Funicular cowl is an adventure in mosaic knitting that features an enticing cog-like stitch pattern. Enjoy the subtle changes of color as we shift gears and advance from one ball to the next of Zauberperlen by Schoppel. Accented by bold, angled lines that tilt when worn, this is the perfect project to work on through September. Join Ellen and your fellow passengers all month long in our Ravelry form where she will be offering support, tutorials, and more! 

Choose your favorite colorway and be ready to cast on Thursday, September 5^th!

Funiculars are a specific type of cable railway designed for navigating steep inclines. They consist of two cars connected by a cable that runs over pulleys. As one car ascends, the other descends, which balances the weight and helps the system operate efficiently.

Learn more about it HERE through our friends in Chattanooga, TN at the Incline Railway!
