Erin Cowl

MATERIALS REQUIRED

For this beautiful cowl, you will need approximately 523 yards of color A and 131 yards of color B in Fingering weight yarn. This typically amounts to 3 skeins of color A and 1 skein of color B to complete the project. Select high-quality yarn to ensure a soft and comfortable feel for your finished piece.

GAUGE DETAILS

To achieve the desired look and fit, maintain a gauge of 30 stitches and 36 rows per 10 cm (4 inches) in stocking stitch after Wet Blocking. This is crucial for ensuring your cowl fits as intended, so a quick test swatch is recommended before you start.

NEEDLES NECESSARY

You will need a pair of circular needles sized 3 mm (US 2½) with a cable length of 60 cm (24 inches). If you find that your gauge doesn’t match, simply adjust the needle size accordingly to achieve the perfect tension for your knitting.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS

Once completed, your cowl will measure approximately 33 cm (13 inches) wide with a circumference of 66 cm (26 inches) and a length of about 29 cm (12 inches). These measurements are taken from the fabric after it has relaxed post-Wet Blocking, ensuring the cowl's beauty and drape.
