I am always looking for easy & fun ways to utilize my Angora Yarns; handspun, Sinfully Soft’s angora yarns, & my overwhelming ever growing stash. I was truly inspired by the “Copycat Cowl, by Verna Glass.

I changed things up a bit, adding German short rows, to eliminate ribbing & purling, you can keep on knitting ;-). I am also utilizing two different weights of yarns & two different needle sizes to accentuate the rippled, draping look to the cowl.

Yarn
MC, Main Color, 150 yds any Bulky weight.

CC, Contrast Color, 100 yds any Fingering, Sport, or DK weight.

I love this beautiful easy & fun knitted cowl. The cowl sits gracefully on my shoulders, gently drapes, and the angora yarn provides the feeling of a wonderful warm hug.

The larger needle will be used for the Cast on, and the first 4 rows using the CC Color. After that, you will only use the larger needle for the MC. The smaller needle will only be used for the eyelet lace pattern with the CC.

I have also included a version 2, replacing the eyelet 5 rows by all knit rows. By using the smaller needle for this section, with either the eyelet rounds or all knitted rounds, you still are able to achieve the rippled effect.

Note: The main Ideas for this Cowl, are to be Easy, Flowing, Relaxing, & Fast Knit.

I have included the needle sizes and yarn I used in my Rippled creations, you can use anything you want, let your creative juices flow! This is a great way to use up some stash too. Remember to have fun and let loose!

Key Things to remember:
Watch the Turns & change your needles when indicated.
