Bikube
The name Bikube is derived from the Danish word for 'beehive', and the Bikube cowl reflects that intricate and warm design. This beautiful knitting pattern guides you through creating a stunning 2-color double knit cowl worked in the round. Whether you're looking to make a cozy accessory for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Bikube cowl is a perfect choice.
This versatile pattern includes detailed instructions for knitting the cowl in two different sizes: Small and Large. The Small size boasts a circumference of 67 centimeters and is ideal for snug wear, while the Large size, with a circumference of 100 centimeters, allows for a more relaxed fit. Both sizes have a height of 24 centimeters, providing generous coverage and warmth around your neck.
The Bikube cowl is designed for yarn with a gauge of 25 stitches per 10 centimeters in stockinette stitch, which translates to a yardage of approximately 150 meters per 50 grams. You will achieve the best results with high-quality yarns like the hand-dyed 100% Merino wool (Chester wool - Merino 300) and Italian wool Lane Cervinia Toledo, as shown in our Small size cowl example.
This pattern is tailored for knitters who are already comfortable with 2-color double knitting techniques and who can confidently follow both written instructions and charted designs. The crafting process will stimulate your creativity while allowing you to develop your skills further.
To get started on your Bikube cowl project, you will need basic materials including yarn, knitting needles suitable for the yarn weight, and stitch markers to help keep your place. Please note that the pattern does not include any finished items, yarn, or related materials; it is solely focused on providing you with clear instructions to knit your own beautiful cowl.
