Color-filled Cabled Cowl (or Scarf)
Introducing the cozy and stylish cowl designed using a vibrant FreshStitches "Magic Ball"! This unique skein features approximately 25 yards of various colors of worsted weight wool, expertly Russian joined together. You can use any worsted-weight wool of your choice, allowing you to customize the colors and create your own beautiful stripes or opt for a solid color design based on your preferences.
This versatile cowl/scarf is knit flat, giving it a natural bias that enhances its design. For the best results, block the finished piece flat and then stitch the ends together from the wrong side (WS) to achieve a seamless look. One of the standout features of this cowl/scarf is its completely reversible design, made possible by the engaging ribbed-cable pattern. You can wear it inside out and still enjoy its stylish appearance!
To give your cowl a polished edge, the first and last 3 stitches are created using a knitted-on i-cord technique. At the beginning of each row, simply knit 3 stitches, and when you reach the end of the row, work until you have 3 stitches left. Bring the yarn to the front and slip the last 3 stitches off the needle. It's essential to ensure that you do not wrap the yarn around the needle while shifting it forward to avoid an unwanted yarn over (yo). Instead, you are just moving the yarn as if to purl.
Get ready to enjoy a fashionable and functional accessory for yourself or as a heartfelt gift for a loved one. This cowl/scarf pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, making it a fantastic addition to your collection of knitting projects. Dive into your knitting journey with this delightful cowl, blending creativity and warmth!
