Accordion Cowl

The Accordion Cowl is a quick, engaging knitting project perfect for beginners, featuring a stunning and easy-to-follow pattern of diagonal lines set against a smooth stockinette stitch backdrop. With just one round of purl stitches, the fabric beautifully folds onto itself, mimicking the charming characteristics of an accordion. This unique bell shape not only adds visual appeal but also ensures the wearer enjoys comfort without any unnecessary bulk. It's an ideal choice for those looking to create a stylish accessory that is both functional and attractive!

This elegant cowl is worked seamlessly in the round, starting from the narrow end and expanding outward. Increases are incorporated in every second lace section, enhancing the dynamic design of the piece. As a result, you’ll develop your knitting skills while making a truly eye-catching item.

The featured yarn boasts a gauge of 320m/360 yards per 100g, allowing you to create a cowl with a top diameter of 47 cm (18.5 inches), a bottom diameter of 66 cm (26 inches), and a length of 37 cm (14.5 inches). If you choose to work with a fingering weight yarn that has around 400m/437 yards, you can add another complete repeat of the pattern, reaching a final length close to 42 cm (16.5 inches). This flexibility makes the Accordion Cowl a versatile addition to any knitting repertoire!
