Chunky Knit Cowl
If you are looking for a quick and satisfying stash-buster, the Knit Cowl is a squishy neckwarmer that comes together in just a couple of hours.
Designed for short 12 mm circular needles, this project is worked seamlessly in the round with zero seaming involved. It features an alternating block pattern of twisted ribbing, where knit stitches are worked through the back loop to sit crisp and raised against soft purl bumps.
Using less than one ball of The Wool by We Are Knitters (or around 40 metres of your favourite super bulky roving yarn), it is the ideal pattern to cast on after lunch and finish in time for an evening stroll. It makes a brilliant weekend project and a thoughtful choice for last-minute handmade gifts.
