Polka Dot Cowl

Finished Size: This delightful cowl measures 26 inches (66 cm) long in circumference and 10 inches (26 cm) wide (tall), making it the perfect accessory for cozy warmth and style. This whimsical cowl is versatile, allowing you to wear it in three unique ways: opt for a playful polka dot design, bold stripes, or a charming half-and-half look, depending on your mood and outfit. The construction of this cowl begins with a Provisional Cast On method, followed by knitting in the rounds. You'll start with the stripe section, seamlessly transition into the polka dot section, and finish off with more stripes for a cohesive finish. To create a truly invisible join, the provisional cast-on is expertly bound off using the Kitchener stitch technique, ensuring a polished look.

Yarn Recommendation: For this stylish cowl, we recommend using KnitPicks Hawthorne, a fingering weight yarn made of 80% Superwash Fine Highland Wool and 20% Polyamide, with a generous length of 357 yards per 100 grams. You'll need 1 skein of Slate Kettle Dye (colorway 26688) as the Main Color (MC) and 1 skein of Rose City (colorway 26432) as the Contrast Color (CC). Alternatively, feel free to use any fingering weight yarn that has a similar yardage to create your own unique version of this cowl.

This knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a functional and fashionable accessory. Whether you're new to knitting or an experienced crafter, this whimsical cowl pattern will provide an enjoyable project that can be gifted or kept for yourself.
