Herringbone Cowl Pullover

Discover the beauty and versatility of this textured pullover featuring a stunning mock herringbone stitch, masterfully created using a combination of knits and purls. This unique design showcases a tall cowl that is skillfully worked in the round, with the shape expertly defined by changing needle sizes. The clever herringbone stitch is reversible, making the cowl look equally chic whether you choose to wear it folded elegantly or scrunched casually around your neck.

This knitting pattern is designed with precision to ensure that the intricate patterning remains perfectly centered across all sizes. To achieve this, the chart starts at a different point for each size, allowing for a tailored fit. Strategic stitch markers are set between the initial repeats to assist in shaping while keeping the design in pattern. By paying close attention to the number of stitches that remain to your marker after each increase or decrease, you'll easily find your starting place within the 10-stitch repeat—ensuring that you stay in pattern effortlessly as you progress through the project.

When it comes to shaping your cowl, always refer back to the chart to determine whether your next stitch should be a knit or a purl. This will guide you in selecting the appropriate stitches for your increases and decreases, leading to a beautifully constructed piece that showcases your knitting skills. Perfect for intermediate and advanced knitters alike, this pattern not only challenges your technique but also rewards you with a stylish and functional accessory that you can wear all season long.
