Emerald Isle Cowl Knitting Pattern and Creative Friday

 

 

 

Hello everyone, my Emerald Isle Cowl is finished and I am sharing pattern here with you. It was quite a quick knit, knitted in Double Knitting merino wool from Colourspun and I knitted it on 5mm needles. I do love the colour of this green, just wonderful!

This cowl measures 40 inches in circumerfance when finished, but if you would like to make it bigger, the DK that I am knitting with on this pattern gives me 4 stitches per inch when knitted, so to add extra inches, you would cast on 4 stitches at a time for each inch of length that you require, just as long as you always add an even amount of stitches as this pattern works with multiples of 2.

Materials:

100 grams of DK Colourspun wool (220 yards of yarn)

5mm circular needles

5.5mm straight needle for casting off with

sewing needle for the ends

1 stitch marker to place at the beginning of your round

Pattern:

Cast on 170 stitches on the 5mm circular needles and join for knitting in the round with the magic loop technique (place your stitch marker at the beginning of the round)

Round 1: Knit

Round 2: (Knit 2 stitches together all across the round)  (85 stitches)

Round 3: kfb (knit into the front and back of each stitch to increase) (170 stitches)

Round 4: Purl

Round 5: Knit

Round 6: (Knit 2 stitches together) all across the round (85 stitches)

Round 7: (Knit 1 stitch, make 1) all across the round (make 1: wrap yarn around needle to make a hole and increase) (170 stitches)

Round 8: Purl

This makes up the pattern for the cowl, repeat these 8 rounds another 6 times, your cowl should be about 6 inches wide when blocked.

Cast off loosely with your 5.5mm needle so that the cast off edge is nice and loose.

If you want your cowl to be longer see above for the amount of stitches to cast on.

Ravelry notes are here.

Happy knitting!

    Thank you, Linda, for sharing your Emerald Isle Cowl with us. I have an Irish friend who will love it!

  20. Keely November 29, 2012 at 8:06 pm #

    a great pattern, i love it.

  21. Mary Ellen February 8, 2013 at 4:55 pm #

    Thanks for this lovely pattern. I’m drawn to the name of it, rather than the color (even though it is a lovely green). I’m in the US in upstate NY watching big fluffy flakes of snow come down right now. I’m just about to finish the sock on my needles, and think a nice warm cowl (the hot fashion item here this winter) would be the perfect thing to cast on next. Love the texture in your stitch pattern.

    WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for bridal shoes ivory

  23. Robin Cricket March 9, 2014 at 2:00 am #

    Hi, love this pattern, I have made it in a lovely dark green, and a warm cream color. I just started one on red, it looks great with any colour really, and easier than I first thought. Thank you again.

  24. Sandy February 24, 2015 at 1:41 am #

    I just was given a number of skeins of a chenille yarns in blue and suede. Think I will be using one of then to work this one up. Will post a picture when done.

  25. Mother of Reinvention September 13, 2015 at 12:11 pm #

    Thank you for sharing such a beautiful pattern. I have blogged about it here: http://mother-of-reinvention.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/made-up-initiative-pledge-fomhar-cowl.html . I will definitely knit this again. Your version is gorgeous as is your model. Xx

  26. Sue October 31, 2015 at 9:12 pm #

    Can you tell me how this could be knitted on straight needles? Thank you

    • Sue December 7, 2015 at 7:27 pm #

      Could you please tell me the length of the 5mm circular needle that you used for the Emerald Isle Cowl. It is lovely! Also, I am a tight knitter and wondered if I should go up in needle size?

  27. Carolyn November 26, 2015 at 4:41 pm #

    I live in the Emerald City (Seattle, USA), so this pattern is perfect for me. Thank you so much!
