Two-Point Cowl in Two Gauges!

“Snuggle up right quick!”
Inspired by our ever-popular Easy Folded Poncho, this scaled-down version is totally seamless and slips easily over the shoulders. The simple shape makes it easy to re-yarn in another gauge. Just swatch for a softly draping fabric, then multiply the schematic dimensions by your stitch gauge—the math is easy!

Option 1: We knit the shoulder-hugging Two-Point Cowl in String Blossom, a lush, sport-weight half-and-half blend of cashmere and silk. Blossom’s tight, high-quality twist makes it a dream on your needles. It simply overflows with next-to-the-skin softness—you’ll want to keep this cowl close!

Option 2: Plush, chunky-weight Rowan Brushed Fleece yields a wonderfully cozy cowl. A knitterly version of the Northwest’s ubiquitous polar fleece, it’s a super-soft blend of extra fine merino and baby alpaca. Warm and insulating but remarkably light, Brushed Fleece has a rustic charm and a range of natural colors. Plus, all that plump fluff means you’ll be snuggled up in your cowl in no time!
