Yarn Requirements To craft your own Coogee Cowl, you will need approximately 350 yards (320 metres) of 4 ply, fingering, or sock yarn. The sample was exquisitely knitted using Adagio Alpaca 4 ply, which is a luxurious 100% alpaca yarn with a yardage of 175 yards (160 metres) per 50 grams. For this project, you will need two balls of yarn in the beautiful colorway of Clouds.

Gauge The recommended gauge for the Coogee Cowl is 26 stitches and 35 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in stocking stitch when knitted in the round and after blocking. While achieving this gauge is not crucial, it’s important to note that any variations may affect the finished size, drape, and amount of yarn required for your project. Always consider making a swatch before starting to ensure your desired outcome.

Finished Measurements Once you have blocked your Coogee Cowl, you can expect the following dimensions: the neck circumference will measure 20 inches (51 cm) at the top and gracefully widen to 26 inches (66 cm) at the bottom. The height of this elegant cowl will measure 14 inches (35.5 cm), making it a perfect accessory to keep you warm and stylish through all seasons.
