Twist cowl is knitted in a chunky yarn that shows the texture of the stitches beautifully.

You start Twist cowl in the same way as Twist hat. Then, you shape your cowl by reducing the needle size and finished using a one-over-two cast-off, which minimises rolling of the edge.

Patterns for a matching hat, mittens and fingerless mittens are also available.

You can purchase all the patterns in Twist Collection together in a single booklet or separately. All the patterns in Twist Collection are available to purchase here as a digital pdf downloads, or as printed booklets (together with a free Ravelry download code) from the Being Knitterly webstore.

Other details

This pattern is available in two versions: there’s one written for those who knit left-handed as well as the standard one for those who knit right-handed.

Most of you knit right-handed, that is, your stitches move from the left to right needle as you knit: choose “knitting right-handed”.

Some of you knit left-handed, that is, your stitches move from the right to left needle as you knit: choose “knitting left-handed”.

If you are a left-handed knitter who knits right-handed, that is your stitches move from the left to right needle, you should choose “knitting right-handed”.
