Cowl Knit Pattern – So comfy and quick

A cowl knit pattern was next on my to do list.  I have been wanting to try to use the heavier weight yarn that are now so widely available.  Thanks to RedHeart Yarn I was gifted this Jumbo weight yarn a while back.  I had some left over and wanted to try a comfy cowl.

While attending the SNAP conference in Salt Lake City last year I met the gals from Wool and the Gang.  They are so fun and very knowledgeable.  They gifted me these beautiful wooden knitting needles.  Not only are they beautiful but they are so smooth and made quick work of my knitting.  Thanks to RedHeart Yarns and Wool and the Gang.

The measurements of the finished cowl:  approximately 30 inches by 9 inches  It should fit most adults and teens

These projects work up quickly and are so comfy.

This knitting pattern works up so quickly.  Using the large knitting needles (size 15mm)  and Jumbo weight yarn (weight 7)  I was able to knit this cowl in no time at all.  I wanted to add a little design or something to dress it up a bit and cable seemed to fit the bill.

This is a 6 stitch cable.  My only challenge was that I didn’t have a large enough cable needle or hook.  I had to settle for my regular cable hook and my cables row did turn out a little tight.  Other than that it was a breeze.  Ideally, having the same size gauge cable needle as your knitting needles would work the best.  Sometimes we just have to work with what we have and make do.  : (

YouTube link to learn to knit cables. This video shows a 4 stitch cable but you would follow the same instructions. Instead of putting 2 stitches onto your cable need or cable hook you would put 3 stitches since this is a 6 stitch cable.
