Rainbow Cowl Knitting Pattern

If you’re after a warm addition to your winter accessories, and love the idea of mixing a few colours together this Autumnal knitted cowl will be perfect.

You can wear the finished cowl long as an infinity scarf, or doubled up for the snuggly benefit of a thicker, shorter cowl.

Easy to pick up and fun to knit, the stitch pattern gives a colour-knitting effect with a couple of easy tricks. With 8 rows of repetition and regular changes of yarn shade you’ll be motivated to keep going again and again.

The Rainbow Cowl is ideal for intermediate knitters or beginners with 6-12 months knit and purl experience.

Knitted in Felted Tweed DK, by Rowan, it’s a classic yarn that isn’t going anywhere, so this pattern is repeatable with many shades to match different outfits. It’s also ideal for gifting a few times as each knitted Rainbow Cowl can be individual and suited perfectly for the recipient.

knitting in the round
