Radial Heat Cowl

Get ready to elevate your knitting skills with our updated grafting instructions, now easier to read for your convenience! This cowl features an easy one-piece grafted (or seamed) construction that is beautifully knitted flat lengthwise. We’ve also included detailed instructions on how to execute the kitchener stitch for ribbing, making the process straightforward even for beginners.

Designed with a sideways rib pattern, this cowl offers exceptional stretch and cushiness, ensuring comfort and warmth during chilly days. You can easily make the cowl wider for additional coverage; our pattern includes guidelines on how to do just that! Please note that the finished measurement provided is for when the cowl is not being stretched, allowing you to customize it to your preference.

This versatile cowl can be worn in multiple stylish ways: pull it up over your head as shown, bunch it comfortably around your neck, or fold it in half lengthwise for a luxurious double-thick radial ring of warmth. For extra protection against the biting cold wind, simply pull up the front to shield your lower face!

*Note: This cowl is knitted using one strand of each yarn held together throughout, adding unique texture and style. For alternative yarn options, consider using chunky weight yarn with one strand for a soft finish. Feeling adventurous? Mix and match yarn weights and textures! For example, the vibrant orange cowl in our photos is crafted using a strand of Aran weight combined with Worsted yarn for added depth. You could also try knitting with two strands of chunky yarn and adjust the needle size accordingly for a cozy, textured look! Perfect for knitters looking to explore their creativity while creating a functional piece.
