Who doesn’t love a substantial cocoon of luxurious woolen warmth to fend off the biting cold of deep winter? This cozy cowl knitting pattern, available in two sizes (petite and tall), is the perfect solution for stylishly toughing out those chilly morning commutes. Crafted from squishy worsted weight wool, this cowl is not only functional but also beautifully designed. It is worked in reverse stockinette stitch with short row shaping, showcasing extravagant cabled panels that add a touch of sophistication. The piece naturally falls into gentle curves and folds, effectively trapping warmth around your neck and head. The deeper sections can even be pulled up to perform “hood” duty while scraping your car or waiting for the bus, ensuring you stay warm and cozy.
Finished Size: 6(7) inches in circumference, designed to fit hands measuring up to 7.5(8.5) inches around the palm (blocked).
Yarn Requirements: You will need 125(160) yards of worsted weight wool for this lovely cowl.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 26 stitches and 54 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch on smaller needles (knit flat, unblocked) to ensure your cowl fits perfectly.
Recommended Needles: We suggest using size 1 US (2.25 mm) DPNs (double-pointed needles) or the size needed to obtain the correct gauge. Additionally, have size 1.5 (2.5 mm) DPNs on hand, which should be .25 mm larger than the gauge needle to accommodate for any variations.
