This pattern was inspired from my Spring Vine Infinity Scarf, written in 2012. The cowl can be knit on a loom or needles and included video tutorial links for both!

Drop stitches used in this simple cowl remind me of vines in the spring and were the original inspiration. A super bulky, or thick-thin roving, type of yarn would be best for this project whether it is solid, tweed, color transitioning or intentionally color changed.

Follow instructions for Loom or Needle knitting. If alternate directions are needed for needles, see instructions as {needle directions}. In PDF click links for technique videos.

Needles:
Needles US size 13 circular needles

Loom:
Loom 3/4” Extra large gauge (XLG) Loom; CinDwood 3/4” XLG 40 peg Adult Hat loom or 42 peg Large Adult Hat Loom. Knitting Board Hat Loom in largest gauge with every other peg used sample. (For technique in Spring Vine Infinity Scarf, see video)

Alternate looms and sizes:
40 or 41 peg large plastic circular looms, KISS looms, Martha Stewart looms, etc.; Choose yarn to suit loom gauge; size of loom will change size of project. Repeat drop sections or garter stitch rows to increase the height for desired size.

♥♥♥♥Welcome! I’d like to tell you a little story. ♥♥♥♥

When I started learning to read patterns I got so frustrated with books and flat drawings that didn’t have any movement to show me the process of making the stitches or technique. Like so many of you I am a visual learner but finding out it’s more kinetic where you have to hear and see things in motion in order to learn it. So I created GoodKnit Kisses and started making video tutorials to help others. I know I couldn’t be alone!

You wil find my patterns are chock full of video links to techniques, stitches and even FULL video tutorials in a make-along format.
