Annabella’s Cowl

I just finished this little neck-a-ma-thing, and it turned out really well! The pattern is , and the yarn is , a super soft, machine-washable merino wool made right here on Canada’s East Coast. The yarn wasn’t exactly like the ones they called for in the pattern, so I used a larger needle and cast on fewer stitches (you can find all of our modifications in .

The project only took one skein of , and I’m happy with the size – not too big, not too tight. The pattern was extremely easy, it’s definitely beginner-friendly (probably a good project for a novice once they’ve learned knit and purl. It’s a great knit in front of the TV kind of project, especially if you need to whip up a gift in a rush.

More Yarn Options

The pattern was originally designed with a yarn like , which would knit up beautifully on 5mm/US8-16″ circular needles (only 1 skein required). It would also be yummy made with  (use a single strand and 5mm/US8 needles (two skeins) for a light, airy version, or two strands held together and 6mm/US10 needles (4 skeins) for a thicker, cozier neckwarmer). If you want a yarn option that’s a little less precious try  (1 skein) with 6mm/US10 needles.
