Corinthe Cowl

This beautifully crafted cowl is expertly knitted in the round, from side to side, utilizing a provisional cast-on technique. Once completed, the cowl is seamlessly grafted to the last stitches, ensuring a perfect round join. It features intricate cable patterns interwoven with knits and purls, creating a stunning oriental-inspired design that is sure to impress.

MATERIALS You will need 200 grams (approximately 300 yards / 270 meters) of Aran weight yarn, specifically 2 skeins of Malabrigo Twist or a similar equivalent. Don't forget to have some scrap yarn handy for the provisional cast-on.

NEEDLES For this project, a US 9 / 5.5 mm circular needle is recommended, or you can use a size that helps you achieve the proper gauge. Additionally, a cable needle, a stitch marker, and a tapestry needle (for grafting) will be essential tools in your knitting arsenal.

GAUGE To ensure the perfect fit and drape, aim for a gauge of 4 inches / 10 cm = 18 stitches X 16 rows in the established pattern.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS This versatile cowl boasts a circumference of 24 inches / 61 cm, making it easily adjustable to suit your style, with a cozy length of 8 inches / 20 cm to keep you warm.
