The Design

This sweet, easy cowl simply sings in four-by-four ribbing! This free pattern features a bold, engaging structure and is sized just right for a comfy, cuddly fit around your neck. It’s sure to bring harmony—and cozy warmth—to any outfit.

We knit this version of the Common Time Cowl in String Venezia. This yarn is a worsted-weight blend of cashmere, lambswool, and silk—light, warm, and oh, so soft! With a fluffy, almost curly texture and a swirly, marled strand, Venezia creates a delightfully warm, soft, fun fabric.
