The Roman Cowl features bands of seed stitch separated by smooth stockinette for a classic textured accessory. Worked in the round with light worsted-weight/heavy dk yarn, it’s an enjoyable project for knitters who are comfortable with knit and purl stitches.

I used Valley Yarns Hampden for its soft feel and lovely stitch definition. Pair your cowl with the Roman Beanie for a coordinated winter set, or knit it as a practical handmade gift.
