The Shawlcowl Pullover is designed to mimic the trendy look of wearing a shawl as a scarf combined with the comfortable ease of wearing a pullover cowl.

Hence: Shawlcowl. The name isn’t fancy, but you will find the design knits up quickly in worsted weight yarn on circular needles and is easy enough for an advanced beginner.

Pattern version 3.0 now includes three versions of the pattern: The original Shawlcowl Pullover and Shawlcowl 2 designs have a soft and squishy garter stitch front panel embraced by a classic feather-and-fan lace border. Shawlcowl 3 has a front panel worked in stockinette and is also edged by a feather-and-fan lace border. You get three variations to choose from all in one pattern, which is a great value that will keep your creative juices flowing and your knitting needles busy! This edition of the pattern also includes optional bonus instructions for adding extra length to your Shawlcowl.

I would recommend size S/M for teens, petite women, and average-size women. I would recommend size L for plus-size women or anyone who prefers a looser fit in this type of accessory.

Shawlcowl Pullover is a season-spanning accessory that is beautiful enough to give as a gift. (Or keep your Shawlcowl for yourself – your secret is safe with me!)

Samples shown in my photos are made with Lily Sugar and Cream 100% cotton worsted weight yarn, but Shawlcowl will work well in many other kinds of worsted weight yarn. Check out the “yarn ideas” tab for some great suggestions.

If you use standard (120-yard) balls of Lily Sugar and Cream, two balls are recommended. However, I have included instructions in the notes for how to make a size S/M Shawlcowl with just one ball if that is your preference.
