Shiran oversized knit cowl
Looking for an easy, beginner-friendly knitting project? This oversized textured neck cowl pattern is perfect for you! This stylish cowl is designed to be both cozy and chic, making it an essential accessory for your winter wardrobe. To achieve the gorgeous marled tweedy texture, we'll work with two yarns held together, creating a unique and visually appealing fabric. Alternatively, you can also opt for a single strand of chunky or super chunky weight yarn for a different look.
The pattern instructions are straightforward and written out in detail—there are no charts, making it easy to follow along, whether you choose to work flat in rows (and sew it together later) or seamlessly in the round. You'll have the freedom to select the method that best suits your knitting style!
For this project, you'll need 10mm / US size 15 knitting needles, ideally a 40cm/16" long circular needle if you’re working in the round, or a set of circular or straight needles for flat knitting. Don’t forget to check your gauge to ensure a perfect fit!
Additionally, you'll find that having a few handy tools will enhance your knitting experience: a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, a stitch marker to keep your place, measuring tape for tracking your progress, and small scissors to snip the yarn as needed. This oversized neck cowl is not just a practical accessory; it also serves as a great way to practice and enhance your knitting skills. Start your cozy knitting journey now!
