Lockbox Cowl is a fun, simple, textured cowl that is perfect for beginner knitters. With a simple pattern repeat, this project is easily modified to be as tall as you’d like it, and can be knit in any weight of yarn.

Gauge is not crucial for this project.

Yarn Recommendation: We recommend tonal or solid yarn to show off the cool texture. Highly variegated or busy hand-painted yarns will hide the texture.
