This cowl can be worn as a traditional cowl or you can use the drawstring to make it extra cosy and even pull it up to make a snood. Made from 24x 10g mini skeins its perfect for your advent yarns or to use with our sock yarn mini skeins available here – or you could just make it from one solid colour, you will need 240g total of sock yarn. Each section of the cowl uses just under 10g of sock yarn, and the I-cord is made using the leftover scraps.

Finished Dimensions – 60cm circumference and 50cm long.

Gauge – on 4mm needles in stockinette stitch we get 20 stitches to 8cm across and 10 rows to 3cm down, however it is not vital that you get the same measurements exactly.

You will need

240g eco pleiades sock yarn

4mm circular needles (the circumference of the cowl is 60cm so if your circular needles are longer than this you will need to use the magic loop method)

For the I-cord you can use your 4mm circular needles however if you have 2x 4mm double pointed needles it will be quicker and easier. You can also make a I-cord using a crochet hook or an I-cord maker.

Notes about the pattern –

We start with 172 stitches, occasionally we go to 171 stitches to make some of the pattern repeats work. Where we have 171 stitches we will note this at the end of the row, so if no stitch count is mentioned you should have 172 stitches.
All slipped stitches are slipped as if to Purl
We recommend weaving in your ends as you go, we use the Weavin Stephen method found here
KEEP YOUR SCRAPS – you will need them for the I-cord.
