Chunky Hooded Cowl Knitting Pattern

Pull on the ribbed cowl, settle the hood over your head and head out in a winter layer you made yourself. A shoulder section sits beneath your coat while the knitted drawstring finishes the face opening. One project, with warmth around both neck and head.Inside your patternA 6-page English PDF with size and material details, written cowl and hood instructions, construction photos, drawstring-casing and i-cord instructions, finishing guidance and a notes page.Construction and skillsKnit and purl ribbing, knitting in the round and flat, increases and decreases, picking up stitches, making eyelets, sewing down a folded edge and knitting i-cord.

These are finished garment dimensions.MaterialsSuggested yarns in the PDF: Rauma Vams or Istex Alafosslopi; Rauma Puno is listed as an alternative. Quantity: 5 skeins for S/M, 6 for L. The PDF does not give a separate weight or metre requirement for each alternative, so do not treat the ball counts as interchangeable across different put-ups. Check the chosen yarn’s label and the required gauge. Circular needles: 4.5 and 5.5 mm, with 40 and 60 cm cables as needed. Use 5 mm double-pointed needles for the i-cord, plus markers and a needle for sewing the casing and weaving in ends.Gauge15 stitches × 22 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette on 5.5 mm needles, measured after washing. Swatch before beginning and choose the needle size that produces this gauge rather than relying on yarn-weight labels alone.Pattern only: English PDF.
