This fun and engaging cowl features an easily memorable eight-round repeat pattern, making it an ideal take-along project for both travel and social knitting. Designed specifically to showcase the beauty of variegated or tonal fingering weight yarn, Alfean is a fantastic option for utilizing your yarn stash and creating something beautiful in the process!

For this project, you will need 420 yards (384 meters) of fingering weight yarn, allowing you to explore a variety of colors and textures. The pattern calls for US size 2 and 3 needles (2.75 mm and 3.25 mm) using a 24” circular needle (60 cm), which is perfect for crafting this cozy accessory. Essential notions include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and a stitch marker to help track your rounds.

It’s important to achieve the correct gauge of 22 stitches x 30 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in blocked stockinette stitch, so be sure to adjust your needle size if needed to meet this requirement. The finished Alfean Cowl measures approximately 25" (63.5 cm) in circumference and 15" (38 cm) in depth, offering a comfortable fit that will keep you warm during chilly weather.
