cap'n cowl
This cozy and stylish cowl uses short-row shaping to add more bulk to the front of the cowl, where it’s most needed! The drop-stitch pattern creates a striped effect that shows off hand-dyed yarn beautifully.
Dimensions
size small: 16.5 inches long in front, 7 inches in back, 21 inches in circumference
size large: 23 inches long in front, 11 inches in back, 38 inches in circumference
Yarn requirements
The small size requires 200 yards of dk weight yarn, or double that amount in fingering to be held double, as shown in the sample.
The large size requires 450 yards of dk weight yarn.
Needles
It’s easiest to knit this cowl on a circular needle, with a 16-inch cord for the small and a 32-inch cord for the large size.
Skill level
This pattern is suitable for an advanced beginner.
