Appia

Introducing the exquisite Appia cowl-shawl hybrid, an elegant accessory named after the iconic Roman road. This light and lacey piece features a charming picot bind-off that adds a delicate touch to its design. Shaped like a semi-circular shawl with evenly spaced increase rows, the Appia is ingeniously crafted to be worked partially in the round. This means you can wear it comfortably as a cowl with no dangling ends, providing both style and functionality. It shares a similar silhouette with my popular designs, [Starshower][1] and [Adama][2].

The all-over Roman Stripe stitch pattern is not only simple to execute but also creates a stunning knitted fabric that balances lacey beauty with rich texture, ensuring maximum visual impact. Appia is available in two generous sizes—Small and Large—each taking less than a single skein of sock yarn. This makes it an ideal project for both beginner and experienced knitters alike! Best of all, it’s quick enough to whip up one for yourself and a thoughtful gift for a loved one.

The dimensions for the Appia cowl are as follows: Small [Large] = 17.25”/ 44 cm [22”/ 56 cm] circumference at the top opening and 16”/ 40.5 cm [18”/ 45.5 cm] height at the center. Whether you’re looking to elevate your own wardrobe or create a stunning handmade gift, the Appia cowl-shawl hybrid is the perfect knitting pattern to add to your collection.
