MATERIALS

  • 1 skein of Purl Soho’s Woolly Wool, 100% wool. Each skein is 109 yards/ 200 grams; approximately 54 yards required. (NOTE: We no longer offer Woolly Wool, but choose from one of our other super bulky weight yarns.)
  • US 19 (15/16 mm), 24-inch circular needles
  • A jumbo stitch marker

NOTE: One skein is enough to make two cowls in any of the three stitch patterns!

We used three different colors for our cowls…

  • 2×4 Rib Cowl: Sea Turtle
  • Spiral Rib Cowl: Blossom Pink
  • Open Mock Cable Rib Cowl: Peach Lily

GAUGE
6½ stitches = 4 inches in stockinette

NOTE: We used US 19 needles to achieve this gauge, but different knitters may find smaller or larger needles work better for your style of knitting. More important than needle size is getting the correct stitch gauge so that your cowl will be plump and stretchy. If gauge is a new concept for you, our All About Gauge tutorial is a helpful primer!

SIZE
Finished Dimensions: Approximately 18½ inches around x 9 inches high, relaxed
