Twisted Rib Cowl

This easy, beginner-friendly cowl pattern is perfect for knitters looking for a quick and stylish accessory. Knitted in a simple twisted rib stitch, this cowl is crafted entirely using the knit stitch through the back loop, making it an accessible project for those who may not be comfortable with purling. The result is a beautifully textured fabric that is both stretchy and warm, ensuring you'll stay cozy in colder weather.

The gauge provided in the pattern is intended for standard aran yarn; however, don’t worry too much about achieving an exact gauge! As long as you stick with aran or chunky (bulky) yarn weights, you'll create a stunning cowl that fits perfectly. This flexibility makes this pattern an ideal choice for knitters of all skill levels.

I originally knitted this cozy cowl some time ago, and I must mention that Artesano British Chunky has unfortunately been discontinued. However, you can still find this lovely yarn on platforms like eBay in the UK if you wish to use it. For those searching for an alternative, Artesano Aran is still widely available and works beautifully for this cowl pattern.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this cowl is not only enjoyable to make but also incredibly easy to wear. It makes for a thoughtful handmade gift or a lovely addition to your winter wardrobe. Explore our collection of free and paid knitting patterns today and dive into your next knitting project!
