These cowls are worked from the bottom, up. The pattern is written to be worked flat and seamed, though the knit stitch at the start and end of every row could be eliminated and the pattern could be worked in-the-round, if preferred. Working the cowls flat makes them easier to block, but is not required.

This pattern offers charted and written-out instructions.

Sizes

White Version: 27" / 68.5 cm width at top, 36" / 91.5 cm at bottom, 19" / 48 cm height

Mauve Version: Approximately 400 yd / 366 m of fingering weight yarn. Shown in a merino/viscose blend.

Note: choice of yarn will impact the drape of the cowl and how much the cowl may be blocked out. While both samples are knit with the same weight yarn on the same needles, they have different gauges because of the differences in fiber content.

  • US 4 / 3.5 mm knitting needle*
  • 2 cable needles
  • stitch markers (optional)
  • tapestry needle
* Or size to obtain gauge


Gauge

White Version: 18 sts x 32 rows over 4" / 10 cm in Stockinette stitch after blocking

Mauve Version: 16 sts x 26 rows over 4" / 10 cm in Stockinette stitch after blocking

Note: gauge is approximated here and is not instrumental to the success of these cowls but may impact the finished size and yardage required for your piece. Yardage has been slightly over estimated to account for swatching and variation in gauge.
