Very Gifted Cowl Using Rowan Kid Classic
The Design
A gift for you—a super-versatile cowl pattern that is simplicity itself, with details for eight yarn weights so you can use almost any yarn (or combination of yarns) you like. Here, we've chosen our perennial favorite, light-worsted weight Rowan Kid Classic—a wool-and-mohair blend that's suitable for both guys and gals.
Our sample shown here yielded 9" of knitted depth from just a single skein, but the pattern lists yardage requirements for each knitted inch of depth so you’ll know just how far more skeins can go. Make one for you, one for a friend!
