Covered Bridge Cowl

This knitting pattern features detailed instructions for creating two beautiful cowls: a trim-fitting cowl and a longer, scarf-like cowl. Both designs are knitted in the round and showcase captivating twisted-stitch patterns alongside simple ribbing, making them a wonderful project for knitters of various skill levels. Whether you’re looking for a snug accessory to keep warm or a stylish piece to drape elegantly, these cowls are perfect for any occasion.

It's important to note that the longer cowl requires nearly the entire skein of yarn, leaving only about 12 grams for leftover. To ensure you can complete the cowl as intended—especially if your gauge varies slightly—you may consider purchasing an additional skein of yarn for extra insurance. This makes it easier to achieve the perfect look without the stress of running out of yarn midway through your project.

Inspired by the charming landscape of Vermont, known for its historic wooden covered bridges, each piece crafted in this pattern is a work of art. These bridges feature interlocking support beams for the roof and floor, illustrating remarkable craftsmanship. As you wear your beautiful cowl, imagine taking a leisurely drive along the picturesque backcountry roads of Vermont during the breathtaking fall foliage season, discovering these stunning bridges along the way.
