Need a Stocking Stuffer cowl kit? You can get your LOLODIDIT KIT HERE

The Stocking Stuffer cowl is stuffed with holiday cheer. Candy cane stripes, little reindeer, Christmas trees and poinsettias circle the neck of this cowl. No time to knit a Christmas sweater? Try a Christmas cowl! The Stocking Stuffer cowl is super quick and, unlike a Christmas sweater, you can wear it EVERY SINGLE DAY in December. This cowl is a great gift OR the perfect topper to show off your holiday spirit! Available in child & adult sizes, you can knit one for the entire family (I’ve even included a toddler modification for a little-bitty Christmas cowl).

Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, the Stocking Stuffer cowl knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.

This Cowl Includes:

  • Top-Down, Seamless Construction
  • Shawl-Shaped Wearability
  • Simple, Fun Colorwork
  • Charts & Written Instructions
  • Endless Stash-Busting Opportunities

SIZES
Child (Adult)

NOTE: This pattern also includes a toddler modification that shortens the child size by eliminating the poinsettia motif.
