Hello my fellow knitters! This week’s design is super quick, super easy and super chic cowl. Knitting a piece with bulky yarn is a really nice way to uplift your mood and motivate yourself as a knitter, because you can make swift progress in no time, and the chunky thread will make any simple pattern stand out. I was able to get this diamond shape effect by making a one stitch increase (with the direction alternating to the left and to the right) to a simple square knit-and-purl pattern. If you are not feeling comfortable with the cowl size and wish to make it wider, you only need to cast on an extra twelve stitches when you start knitting it, and that will increase the circumference measurement 5.5” (14 cm). I hope you give this cowl a try, and I can’t wait to hear your feedback. Wish you all the best in the upcoming winter and holiday season.
