Hi, I have finished the Forest Glade Cowl, I’m really happy with the stitch technique that developed from a yarn over and a knit 2 together. Such simple stitches and together they have manifested into a slanting pattern forming a cowl. This cowl has been designed in multiples of 2, so it’s really easy to make it larger or smaller by reducing or increasing the stitches by 2 either way.

It measures 58 inches around and can wrap 2 or 3 times depending on how cold you are I guess:)

I enjoyed knitting in this Hartlam yarn, it’s a Merino with a hint of luxurious cashmere.

I have added the pattern to Ravelry and it’s a free pattern:) Yay I love sending patterns out into the world.

If you do knit this cowl, I would love to see your finished item, please would you link to the pattern on Ravelry and share it on my group or send me a photo if you like:)

Forest Glade Cowl Pattern ©

Materials:

5mm circular needles

100 grams of DK yarn

sewing needle for the ends

stitch marker

Abbreviations:

yo: yarn over (wrap the yarn under the needle and over to the back) This creates a hole.

Pattern:

Cast on 220 stitches and join for knitting in the round, place a stitch marker at the start of the round.

Round 1: Knit

Round 2: (yo, knit 2 together) repeat across the round.

Rounds 3-5: Repeat round 2.

Round 6: Knit

Round 7: Purl

Rounds 2-7 are the rounds that make up the pattern, I have done 6 pattern repeats altogether with my 100 gram skein of yarn. If you would like your cowl to be thicker, just continue with the pattern repeats, you will need another skein of yarn. When you are finished with your last pattern repeat just finish with a knit round and not a purl for the border.

Bind off loosely (use a larger needle size if you prefer)

Remember, if you would like to shorten or lengthen this cowl, just use multiples of 2:)

Happy knitting!

    The blues and greens in the beautiful yarn melded so well in this stitch pattern and produced a gorgeous cowl. Thanks for the pattern. Now I need to find and equally lovely yarn to try it out for myself. Thank you again.

        This happened to a girl in Boston-and she ended up putting her patterns on darker paper so that they were difficult to copy-I think she found it discouraged others not to try to copy. I gathered it helped some- instead of lime green she used a grass green. Sorry that this happened- You work hard on these patterns. I think it is a pretty low thing to do.

    (My website is photography prints but I do other crafts.)

    I absolutely love this infinity scarf — the stitching and the colors — but I crochet rather than knit. Do you know of any crochet stitches that would be similar to this?

    Thanks for sharing this pattern and the photo…really beautiful work!

    IS it correct? – to start the row with a yarn over? Love the Cowl also my colors.

    Reply
    • Linda January 10, 2013 at 8:54 am #

      Absolutely Carol:) The yarn over at the beginning of the row balances out with the knit 2 together at the end of the other rows. It keeps a continuous flow for the pattern.
      Thanks so much:)

    Love this cowl! I only have one problem…I am not good with circular needles and use straight needles. Would this pattern be the same if I used the straight needles, except for having to sew the seam?

    Thank you for any advice you can give.

      Hi Cristina,
      It would possibly be different if you knitted it flat:)
      Let me know how you go.
      Happy knitting
