Millrose Cowl

Discover the perfect addition to your spring and summer wardrobe with this stunning cowl pattern! This one skein project features a beautiful, simple lace design that not only makes it enjoyable to knit but also highlights that one special colorway you couldn’t resist buying. Knit on the bias, this cowl drapes lightly around your neck, offering both elegance and comfort, making it an ideal accessory for any casual outing or special occasion.

Yarn Information: For this delightful cowl, you'll need approximately 340 yards (310 metres) of fingering weight yarn. I used just one skein of The Fawn + the Fox Yarns’ Fawn, which is a luxurious blend of 80% superwash merino wool, 10% natural unbleached cashmere, and 10% nylon, totaling 380 yards (347 metres) in the enchanting Black Cherry colorway. This yarn not only feels soft against the skin but also provides excellent drape for your finished project.

Needle Details: Use US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles with a length of 32” (80 cm) to create your cowl. A circular needle is essential for accommodating this seamless design while ensuring a comfortable knitting experience.

Gauge: It’s important to achieve the correct gauge for this pattern to ensure the perfect fit. Aim for 22 stitches and 32 rows for a 4” (10 cm) square in pattern.

Finished Measurements: Once completed, your cowl will measure 46” (116 cm) in circumference and 8” (20 cm) wide, making it a versatile accessory that can be worn in various styles - simply draped around the neck or wrapped for extra warmth.

This cowl pattern is not only a lovely quick knit but also a fantastic way to showcase your favorite yarn. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this project serves as a great introduction to lace techniques. Enjoy the pleasure of creating a beautiful piece that complements any outfit!
