If you’re in need of a fast extra-bulky weight cowl project, look no further! This design came into being because my daughter bikes to school every day, and it can get cold in the 45 minutes she needs for that. So, I made her this nice and snug fitting cowl (size S), tall enough to keep her neck warm, even if she pulls it up over her nose. Of course, I also included larger sizes for those who prefer a longer loop.

Extra bulky-weight knitting not quite your thing? There is also a worsted weight version of this design!

The Delft Blue cowl is knit seamless and in the round, with simple color work in the corrugated ribbing.

Difficulty level
The Delft Blue cowl is seamless and knit in the round with simple color work patterning. Stitches used are knit and purl. This pattern is suitable for the advanced beginner to intermediate knitter.
