Elowen Cowl
Introducing the Elowen Cowl, a beautiful accessory that shares its delightful stitch pattern with the beloved Elowen Shawl. This exquisite cowl is not only stylish but also incredibly functional, making it a wonderful addition to any knitwear collection.
The name "Elowen," which is Cornish for "elm tree," is pronounced el-LOW-en. Its melodic sound captures the essence of nature and adds a lyrical quality to your knitting experience, reminiscent of a soft, flowing melody.
Designed to be knit flat, the Elowen Cowl is then seamlessly joined in the round using a clever three-needle bind-off technique. This thoughtful construction allows for easy wear, providing warmth without any bulk at the back of the neck. Whether you wear it in chilly weather or as a stylish accessory, the Elowen Cowl is sure to keep you cozy.
The slip stitch pattern used in the Elowen Cowl is not only visually appealing but also simple to execute, requiring you to work with just one color per row. This makes it an ideal project for both beginners looking to enhance their skills and more experienced knitters seeking a fun, quick knit.
This project works up quickly, making it a fantastic choice for a last-minute gift or a satisfying weekend knitting project. It’s also a perfect stash buster, allowing you to use up leftover yarn in your collection. You can get creative with color combinations to make your Elowen Cowl truly unique!
The Elowen Cowl pattern includes both a detailed chart and written instructions for the color work, ensuring that you can choose the method that suits your knitting style best.
When completed, the cowl measures 18 inches (45 cm) from the front neck edge to the bottom point, making it the ideal size for comfort and warmth. To create your Elowen Cowl, you'll need an estimated yardage of approximately 190 m (206 yds) for the main color (MC) and around 75 m (81 yds) for the contrasting color (CC).
