Easy Cowl Knitting Pattern
Suburbia Cowl is an easy cowl knitting pattern that has blocks of texture made with simple stitches. This knit cowl is made in Baah Sonoma in color Tart Apple, which is a smooth dk weight 100% Merino Superwash yarn. That fiber means it is comfortable against my skin and pleasant to work with. I love a good cowl! It’s much like a scarf, but without the ends to come loose on you.
You can purchase this pattern on Ravelry, Etsy, and LoveKnitting.
This cowl is knit in the round from the bottom-up. It’s a very simple pattern, with nice texture, but easy enough for a near-beginner. The most complicated part is the applied i-cord edging on top and bottom. However, I had never done applied i-cord before making this cowl, but I found this tutorial video from Berroco and was able to figure it out very easily. You can do this!
I knit this cowl on size 9 needles, which makes a fabric with nice drape — very nice to wear. Both sides of this knit cowl pattern have an attractive appearance so, it’s no problem to have either, or both, sides showing. The color is so on trend! Pantone just released its 2016 color report, and bright green is going to be a great shade to use!
When you finish yours please share your photos on my Facebook page and on Ravelry! I look so forward to seeing them!
