Arwen cowl

Introducing the Arwen Cowl: a beautifully crafted knitting project that combines engaging knits and purls in a dynamic, changing graphic pattern, making it an enjoyable challenge for knitters of all skill levels. This versatile looped cowl requires just two skeins of Malabrigo Merino Worsted yarn in two contrasting colorways for the large version, or a single skein for a charming, smaller one-loop cowl. You can choose to work with either single-point needles or a circular needle based on your preference.

The Arwen Cowl pattern is both written and charted, offering knitters the flexibility to follow along in whichever way they find most comfortable. To ensure accuracy and clarity, the pattern has been meticulously tech edited by KTLV, guaranteeing that you’ll have a smooth knitting experience.

MATERIALS

For the large cowl, you will need 2 skeins of Malabrigo Merino Worsted (100 g/3.5 oz - 192 meters/210 yards) in two beautiful colorways. If you prefer a smaller cowl, simply grab 1 skein of Malabrigo Merino Worsted!

GAUGE AND MEASUREMENTS

Your gauge for this project should be 18 stitches and 26 rows over a 10 cm/4 inches swatch (note that row height is less critical for this design). Upon blocking, the large cowl will measure 24 cm / 9.5 inches wide and an impressive 146 cm / 57.5 inches around. For the smaller cowl version, expect blocked measurements of 24 cm/9.5 inches wide and 71 cm/28 inches around.

Whether you’re gifting it to a friend or treating yourself, the Arwen Cowl is a delightful addition to any wardrobe, showcasing your knitting skills while keeping you warm and stylish. Happy knitting!
