Free Pattern- Orange Cowl

This morning before work, I set out to become an official Ravelry Designer. I didn't realize that I couldn't even post pictures with my patterns before I was linked up as one of their designers. So now I have a lone pattern wondering around their database with no photos attached. How sad!

I am launching the pattern to my French Press Felted Slippers this upcoming Monday(October 12) and wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing on Ravelry. Turns out, I didn't! Let's hope they approve me as a designer before Monday.

And as promised, I will kick things off with a free pattern. This is a very simple pattern- perfect for a beginner. Just in time for cold autumn winds: A cowl made with super bulky yarn. Not only will this cowl keep you warm, it will knit up extremely fast!


Autumn Orange Cowl

The stats:

Size:
one size fits all
Materials:
1 skein Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick
Size 13(US) circular needles, 16"



This cowl is very simple- it is worked in the round in seed stitch the whole time. Since there are an odd number of stitches, just keep the pattern(K1, P1)throughout.

Cast on 41 stitches

Round 1: K1, P1; repeat to end
Round 2: P1, K1; repeat to end

Repeat these two rows until cowl is desired length.
The orange cowl is about 30 rows high. Bind off.

  1. What a lovely photo of yourself, looking thoughtfully off into the distance as you model the cowl. I'm sure that you will be approved as a designer on Ravelry... the slipper and cowl patterns will be the first of many!

  2. I'm new to knitting and this cowell was a boost to my knitting confidence. It went so quickly and finished quite pretty. I made it for my 25 y.o. daughter and she LOVED it. I used Raspberry Lionbrand Wool Ease Thick & Quick. This is definately one for the "quick gifts to knit" file. THANKS!
