Can a girl actually have too many cowls? At this time of year, I don’t think so. When I lived in the North, I wore them every day of the winter. Here in the South, a cowl is often all that’s needed to keep cozy on chilly days.
Cowls make great quick gifts too! I’ve got a few good ones in my portfolio and I’d like to share them with you! Through Friday, December 20, take 50% off these featured cowl patterns. (As an added bonus, three of these cowl patterns include matching hats!) Just hop on over to my Ravelry shop, pop your favorite cowls into your shopping cart and enter the coupon code COZYCOWLS at checkout. Dash home and cast on!
A delicate combination of cables and eyelets wend their way gently across the surface of this softly unstructured set. Stockinette panels are punctuated with simple rhythmic double cables and pierced with rick rack openwork columns. Whisper soft with a delicate halo, pure alpaca brings these pretty details to light while its two-ply character adds a certain rustic quality. The hat is slouchy in shape and is topped with a fluffy fur pompom (yarn requirements allow for a matching yarn pompom if you prefer) and the cowl is a generously sized double loop. Both pieces are worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up.
There’s nothing like being wreathed in a snuggly soft hat and cowl once snowy winter sets in! Cockleshells is a relaxed and slouchy hat that covers your ears and sits low on your brow. No hat head here! The matching cowl winds twice around your neck and shoulders, keeping you cozy all winter long. The Cockleshells stitch pattern is fun to knit and interesting enough for seasoned knitters, yet this easy stitch pattern makes a great first lace project.
Thick, soft and ripply, just like the waters of Lake Dalrymple, is this easy cowl. It’s a great introduction to the mosaic technique with easy, rhythmic slip stitch movements. I’ve chosen cool, watery colors, but I believe it would be just as pretty in neutrals or in warm autumnal shades. Your choice! Any worsted weight yarn will work, making this humble ring an excellent stash buster. And, it’s a quick and interesting knit, perfect for gift giving.
Yew Tree Cowl is a lacy ring worked in the round. It features a simple lace pattern, a pretty tree motif surrounded by a delicate diamond. This super easy lace pattern bridges the gap between chart knitting and TV knitting. It’s simple enough to knit in the car or in front of the television, yet challenging enough to feel you’re engaged with the pattern. This soft circle is 40” in circumference which means it will hang elegantly in a single loop or wrap twice for extra coziness. Makes a great quick gift!
There is something impossibly sweet about lacy knitted accessories. I’m always amazed by how warm they remain despite being created from groups of little holes and I love how eyelets fill up with halo.
This is a very simple lace pattern, intuitive and easy to memorize. It’s a traditional combination of knits and yarn overs that has been in use for many years. It has a sweetness about it that comes from its simplicity and its gentle meandering lines.
I hope you enjoy this week’s featured patterns! Happy Knitting 🙂
Love,
Cheryl
