Cowl Sweater
Discover the charm of our delightful Cowl Sweater and elegant Keyhole Vest knitting patterns, perfect for knitters at all skill levels! The Cowl Sweater, designed in a classic Stocking stitch, features flattering ¾ sleeves and a soft, folding ‘cowl’ collar that adds a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe. The strategically placed darts knitted into the bodice enhance the overall shape, providing an elegant fit. While these darts may appear daunting to beginner knitters, they are surprisingly easy to master, making this project an excellent choice for those looking to expand their skills.
