The MAKE IT QUICK cowl is a lightning fast project that is perfect for your last minute holiday knitting! Using bulky weight yarn, it is easy to personalize and adjust to fit your stash. There are no complicated stitches in this pattern, so you can fly through this project at top speed. The various textures look great in contrasting colors, but the entire cowl also looks great in a single color. The pattern is unisex and easy to wear, so you can knit one for everyone on your holiday gift list.

I have provided a complete yardage breakdown of each section, so this pattern is great for using up your leftover bulky weight yarn. No BULKY in your stash? Try holding multiple strands of 2-3 strands of lighter weight yarn together.

Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, this cowl knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.

This Cowl Includes:

  • Top-Down, Seamless Construction
  • Shawl-Shaped Wearability
  • Charts & Schematic
  • Video Tutorials
  • Clear Written Instructions
