The Portstewart Cowl is a cozy, textured accessory that blends warmth with style.

Knit in the round, this charming piece combines knit, purl, and elongated stitches, making the knitting journey not just enjoyable but truly gratifying.

Thanks to its quick-knit appeal, this cowl shines when fashioned from soft, worsted-weight yarn.

The Drop Stitch pattern creates elongated stitches, resulting in a light, airy fabric with a beautiful drape. The subtle lace effect highlights the vibrant colours of variegated yarn, transforming your project into a visual masterpiece.

The cowl is beautifully reversible, offering a stylish look whether worn right-side out or inside out. This versatility adds an extra touch of charm, making it an ideal gift for someone who may not knit, allowing them to enjoy the fashion and warmth from either side.

Designed for a close fit, it allows for width adjustment by casting on more or fewer stitches for a personalized size. Instructions are included for customizing your Portstewart Cowl.

Perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters, the easy stitch pattern is accessible to all skill levels.

Wrap yourself in the charm and comforting warmth of this lovely accessory - your new favourite go-to piece!
