Whatever Cowl

Discover the joy of knitting with our simple and stylish cowl pattern, designed to be worked up using just one skein of your favorite worsted or DK weight yarn. This luxurious cowl features a unique four-part construction: after casting on the required number of stitches, you’ll begin by knitting the first quarter in rows. The edge is meticulously crafted with slipped stitches, resulting in a beautifully stable and polished finish.

As you progress to the second part of this pattern, the cowl transitions into the round, creating a versatile fabric you’ll love to wear. The third and fourth parts introduce easy pattern changes, where the lines will stop at various intervals to add visual interest and texture. The final result is a reversible cowl, complete with a stylish slit that offers multiple styling possibilities—perfect for every season!

This cowl measures approximately 54cm in circumference and around 32cm in height, making it a cozy and adaptable accessory. For this project, you’ll need just one skein of Merlin Worsted by Faserliebe, which contains 180m (197 yards) per 100g. This yarn is crafted from a blend of 90% Wool (Merino) and 10% Cellulose (Linen/Flax) to ensure warmth and softness. Alternatively, you can use any 100g skein of worsted or DK weight yarn that provides a similar yardage of 180-200 meters to meet the required gauge.

Your cowl will not only be fashionable but also a pleasure to knit, making it a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels.
