Boothbay Cowl
This beautifully designed cowl can also be created using DK weight yarn held doubled—however, we highly recommend swatching first to ensure your gauge matches the intended design.
The enchanting waves of this cowl, inspired by the gentle ripples of a calm sea, are crafted using a delightful variation on the well-known feather-and-fan stitch pattern. Notably, the typical purl ridges have been removed, allowing for a smoother, more flowing design. The cowl features subtle shaping, incorporating increases and ribbing at both the top and bottom edges. This meticulous design choice results in a slightly flared bottom that gracefully narrows toward the top, providing a beautifully tailored fit. Knitted in the round from the top down with luxurious chunky weight yarn, this pattern promises to be a quick and enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels.
Comprehensive directions for working the stitch patterns are conveniently provided in both written and chart form to suit your preferred knitting style. Additionally, this cowl pattern is available for purchase as part of the three-cowl pattern booklet, the MacMahan Collection, for only $7, giving you even more knitting inspiration and variety.
Finished Size: The cowl boasts a stunning 19"/48.5 cm circumference at its bottom edge and narrows to 15 ½"/39.5 cm at the top edge, measuring approximately 5 ½"/14 cm in height. Perfect for keeping warm or adding a stylish layer to your outfit!
Materials Required: You will need Madelinetosh Tosh Chunky yarn, crafted from 100% superwash merino wool, with 165 yds (151 m) per 100 g skein in the beautiful color Well Water—just 1 skein is required for this project. For needles, use US size 9/5 mm needles to achieve that perfect stitch definition and texture.
Get ready to create your own stunning cowl that captures the essence of the sea, and enjoy the satisfaction of wearing your handmade creation. Start your next knitting adventure today!
