I love a chunky cowl, they’re fashionable, warm and you don’t have to worry about your scarf coming undone because a cowl will stay exactly where it’s put.
I’ve included 2 sizes (child & adult) so this would make a really cute “Mommy and Me” set! This Diamond pattern is simple to create, yet gives a lot more interest than a straight knit cowl.
And the best part? It’s super easy to create as the pattern only requires 2 stitches—knit and purl, making it the perfect first time project for any new knitters, or a great pattern to tackle while you’re watching your favourite Tv show.

You need:
US 13 (9mm) round needles
Yarn I used: LionBrand Hometown USA in Madison Mustard & San Diego Navy

Gauge: 9s and 12 rows = 4x4 inches
Cast on 48 (60) sts and join in the round

sizes can be adjusted just cast on in multiples of 6 and the pattern will work!
