A study in simplicity and transformation, the Origami Cowl is a meditative knit worked entirely in 1x1 ribbing. Don’t be fooled by the straightforward construction—this long rectangular piece becomes something truly special once off the needles. With a few strategic folds and a simple seam, the fabric is sculpted into a sleek, architectural cowl that drapes beautifully around the neck.

Whether you’re a newer knitter looking for an engaging project or a seasoned maker craving a minimalist, wearable accessory, the Origami Cowl offers a satisfying journey from cast-on to clever finishing. The pattern includes clear written instructions along with step-by-step illustrations to guide you through the folding and seaming process, making it easy to achieve this striking silhouette.

Part of the Still Collection, the Origami Cowl is designed with quiet intention—modern, elegant, and endlessly wearable.
