Charlestown Cowl

This beautifully crafted cowl features a stunning long repeat, self-striping yarn that adds vibrancy and depth to your accessory collection. The eyelet chevron pattern is not only visually striking but also easy to memorize, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels who want to impress without the hassle of complex techniques. Start off with a provisional cast on using waste yarn, and seamlessly knit the cowl flat, as you would a scarf. The project culminates in a three-needle bind off that will effortlessly join the ends, creating a cozy cowl that can be worn in multiple stylish ways. If you desire a longer cowl for added warmth or style versatility, feel free to keep knitting until you reach your ideal length! Just remember, you will need additional yardage for any extension beyond the original design.

Finished Measurements: 26” (66 cm) circumference x 9¼“ (23.5 cm) deep—perfect for snuggling around your neck or wearing as a fashionable accessory.

Materials: You will need just 1 Ball of BERROCO SESAME (100 grams/230 yards) in #7407 Soba. Use straight or circular knitting needles in size 8 (5 mm) or another size that meets your gauge requirements. Additionally, have a spare circular needle size 8 or smaller on hand for the three-needle bind off, along with stitch markers and some waste yarn for the provisional cast on.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 16 stitches = 4” (10.2 cm); 32 rows = 4” (10.2 cm) in Garter stitch. This ensures your cowl will turn out just right, providing the same beautiful drape and structure as envisioned.

Explore your creative side and add this elegant eyelet chevron cowl to your knitting repertoire. With its straightforward techniques and delightful self-striping yarn, it's a fantastic project for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike! Dive into this pattern, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a stylish and functional accessory that you can wear or gift for any occasion.
