Free Knitting Pattern plus Yarn & Needle Giveaway!

'Coast Path' Cotton Cowl


Spring Cotton Cowl Free Pattern:


This cowl is knitted loosely in a shiny mercerised cotton, giving a light and squishy result which is perfect for spring. Not too warm, but great when there is still a little chill in the air, this is a really useful layering piece for under your coat or over your jumper. Will be a perfect transitional piece too, as it could be great for stopping sunburn if you are hiking in the sunnier months. 



knitted cotton cowl
Wear in any number of ways!


Instructions: 

Use 5mm 40cm circular needle, and 50g 4ply cotton. 

Cast on 108 stitches. Don't cast on too tightly, and it is preferable to use a stretchy cast on, such as long tail. 

Join in the round, taking care not to twist the cast on stitches.

Round 1: *knit 2, purl 2* repeat to the end of the round. 
Round 2 and every other round: Work as Round 1 until snood reaches about 9" (or desired length).
Cast off in rib and sew in ends. 
Enjoy! 

Don't forget to add this to your ravelry projects too!

The Giveaway:

To celebrate Easter, I'm giving away a Knit Pro knitting needle, and a 100g skein of this gorgeous cotton yarn in indigo blue: that will make you two cowls if you're careful with the weight. Quite apart from being my absolute favourite, indigo blue is a really hot colour at the moment, and flattering on every skin tone. I also find this size needle is super useful for all sorts of hats and things.

    Maybe you are somebody who has aptitudes in both sewing and sewing. Also, presently, you need to utilize a similar sew design you have and make an interpretation of it to turn into a weaving design. What are a few factors that should be viewed as when doing as such?

    Before using a knitting pattern it is a good idea to make a knitting pattern gauge swatch. Don't skip this step so you can start your Free Knitting Patterns with confidence knowing that the product of your labors will actually fit you!

    If you have been knitting for a month or for years you know how some yarns are just nicer to work with Keywords

  28. Farhan.Jee19 December 2019 at 08:32

    Part of the reason these yarns are so much nicer is because of the way they are made. knitting
