This knitting pattern is now available for FREE! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who purchased it previously—you helped raise a remarkable total of £1350 for Cancer Research UK. Your generosity is truly inspiring!

Last year, our friend Dan bravely faced chemotherapy. During that challenging time, he found it difficult to knit. One evening, we reflected on his favorite knitted item, which led to the creation of this versatile pattern. Our goal was to design something that would appeal to everyone—knitters of all genders—making it the perfect project to tackle while relaxing in front of the TV or during long car rides.

We hope this cowl will bring joy to those who knit it for friends undergoing chemotherapy, or serve as a thoughtful gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast who has been affected by this heartbreaking illness. Your knitting can make a significant impact!

The cowl itself is crafted in the round, utilizing simple knit and purl stitches. This makes it an ideal choice for both beginner knitters and more advanced crafters looking for a straightforward yet engaging project.

As a bonus, the pattern includes handy links to helpful tutorials, along with a special edition of the Bakery Bears podcast, available exclusively to those who download the pattern. You won't want to miss out on these valuable resources!

Thank you all once again for your incredible support and commitment to this cause. By sharing this pattern, you’re contributing to a greater mission, and we can’t wait to see your beautiful creations!
