Lovely cowl knitting pattern for cotton, wool, alpaca, acrylic or other cushy and cozy yarn.

This knitting pattern is easy, quick, and perfect for beginners - whip up cozy cowls for your friends and family. These make great gifts!

Skill level: beginner*

Cast on and bind off methods are intermediate level and the pattern has links to tutorial videos. If they feel too challenging for a true beginner, substitute preferred methods. This cowl is worked in the round and seamless.

Techniques: Channel Island cast on, i-cord bind off, knitting in the round

Needles: size US 8 - 16” circular needles

Note: I think this yarn feels heavier than DK weight and closer to true worsted weight. You would probably achieve a similar gauge with worsted weight yarn.
