Enjoy this cozy cowl pattern as a free download through October 12th. I would love it if you added the pattern to your faves and wish you happy knitting!

If you want to knit your cowl with the same Spots yarn cake I used here, the discounted knit kits/yarns are available at Yarnz2go.

The comfy cozy Rikke cowl is knitted from the top down, in one piece in the round. There are small cables and bigger ones to explore. No worries, if you have not knitted cables before, these are pretty easy to do. There is also matching hat/beanie available, it’s always nice to have a set for those cooler days to keep you warm.

The pattern is fully written and also has a chart. The unblocked cowl measures 8.5” in height, 18” around the neckline and 25” around the bottom border.
