It’s totally tubular, dude! This cowl is inspired by the classic color-blocked windbreakers from the 80s. Featuring a drawstring closure to keep your neck cozy and rad colorwork details, the Windbreaker Cowl will make you feel gnarly!

This pattern is designed to work with one 245 yard (100 gram) full skein and three 49 yard (20 gram) mini skeins. The finished cowl measures approximately 9.75” tall and 26” around (measured 13” flat). Skills used include knitting, purling, slip stitches, yarn overs, k2tog, and ssk.

This pattern was designed for The Stitch Witch at the Blue Ridge Yarn Crawl 2025.
