This cozy cowl by Stephen West is knit in the round and seamed together with a half twist for a moebius style tube. The textured fabric is easy to knit, making this project suitable for beginner knitters. Choose between a small and large size and select a solid or semi-solid color to emphasize the textured stitch details. You can easily customize the length of the fabric by knitting more or fewer pattern repeats to achieve a size that’s perfect for you. This pattern is written for sport weight yarn, but fingering and DK weight yarns would be suitable for this cowl as well.
The Small Size is shown in the Printemps (green) colorway.
The Large Size is shown in the Biche (sand) colorway.
The small size is a tube that goes around the neck. The large size is a moebius-style scarf that wraps around your neck.
24 (46)″ / 61 (117)cm circumference. 20 (20)″ / 51 (51)cm wide. Measurements taken after blocking.
GAUGE:
22 sts and 34 rnds = 4″ / 10cm in pattern after blocking
Stitch gauge is most important, because the length is customizable. So, if you just knit a plain moss stitch swatch, that will be a reliable gauge swatch.
