Autumn Inspiration
As the autumn days get cooler and more crisp here in Wisconsin, I start looking for scarves, hats, cowls and mittens to add to my fall and winter wardrobe. As you might think, I have many in my closets and dresser drawers, but I love making new items each year. So, today I am introducing my newest cowl pattern! I really like the size and shape of it. I liked making and wearing it so much that I actually made 4 different colors of the design in one week. I have photos of them here on my post! The cowl is great to wear as a single cowl but it also works really well when doubled up. By doubled up I mean wearing two cowls…..each a dfferent color. I really like the look and for really cold winter days, it will be so nice and warm!!
Yarn
I usually have many colors of Red Heart “Super Saver” yarn in my studio! And, so when I designed this pattern, I had that yarn in mind. I chose to use 4 different colors to make my cowls. I love how each turned out! The colors I used were Gold, Pumpkin, Burgandy and Spring Green.
The size of each skein is 7 oz./198 g and 364 yds/333m. The yarn is 100% acrylic and is Machine Washable and Dryable. Each of my cowls took approximately 1/2 of a skein or 3.5 oz.
This “Super Saver” yarn works beautifully for this pattern, but any similar #4 weight yarn can be used.
Construction
This lovely cowl is constructed as one flat piece of fabric and is then seemed together to form a circle. The fabric, before seaming, is approximately 30 inches long. When folded and seamed it is 15 inches long and the width is approximately 9 inches, Really a perfect size to wear indoors over a sweater or outdoors with your favorite winter coat.

Good morning!
I just started the cowl and it is curling. I don’t think it is supposed to do that is it?
Thank you!
Cheryl
Hi Cheryl,
No, it shouldn’t curl. But I see that you have figured it out on your own. Thanks for checking!
