Askew Cowl

This stunning cowl pattern features a unique design that is knitted entirely in cheerful garter stitch, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. The project begins with just 2 stitches, gradually increasing to achieve the full width of the cowl for a cozy and stylish fit. After reaching the desired width, the cowl is seamlessly worked in the round for an additional 6 inches, creating a luxurious, uninterrupted fabric that wraps comfortably around your neck. Once the circular portion is complete, the pattern transitions back to flat knitting, where you will skillfully decrease the stitches to taper back down to a defined point.

This cowl’s unique twisted construction gives it an askew appearance, as the points are purposefully offset to beautifully form a spread collar effect when folded. This design not only adds visual interest but also enhances warmth and comfort. Whether you’re looking to keep warm in chilly weather or add a fashionable accessory to your outfit, this cowl is an excellent choice. You’ll enjoy the simplicity of the garter stitch while creating a stunning accessory that makes a perfect gift or a treat for yourself.
