15 Minutes of Warmth Cowl

Andy Warhol was a world-famous pop art icon, but he got his artistic start in the vibrant city of Pittsburgh. This unique knitting design is inspired by some of his most well-known silk screen prints, and the creative name is a playful nod to his famous quip: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Now, you can create your own piece of pop culture history with this stylish cowl pattern!

This stunning cowl is knit seamlessly in the round, beginning with a provisional cast on that allows for a beautifully finished tube. Once the entire cowl has been knitted, the provisional stitches are placed onto a spare needle and expertly grafted together using Kitchener stitch, resulting in an incredibly smooth and seamless finish. To successfully knit this pattern, you’ll need to be comfortable working in the round, following a stranded colorwork pattern from a chart, and using Kitchener stitch to graft your live stitches.

As many knitters discover, their stranded work tends to be a bit tighter than their work with a single color. To combat this, we recommend using larger needles for the stranded portions of the cowl. Be sure to swatch both the single-color and stranded sections of this pattern to guarantee a consistent gauge throughout your project. This attention to detail will ensure your finished cowl not only looks fantastic but also fits perfectly!

This pattern has been thoroughly tech edited and test knit, ensuring that you receive a high-quality knitting experience. Whether you are an advanced knitter looking for your next challenge or an enthusiastic beginner eager to learn, this cowl pattern offers something for everyone. Dive into the world of pop art-inspired knitting and create a stylish accessory that showcases your unique flair while paying homage to a true artistic icon!
