Shape is the next important consideration. Do you need a cowl that will sit close to you neck for extra warmth? Or do you prefer a versatile long cowl that can be worn full length or doubled up for a different look? Maybe you love the look of a flowing style that covers your neck but also sits dramatically on your shoulders. Enjoy all the stages -- pursuing the project, the actual knit and of course the compliments you'll receive when finished!

Gardiner Yarn Works Gordian Twist Neckwarmer is “fauxbius” and features a 360- degree twist in your knitting (a true moebius is only 180 degrees) that doesn’t require any special cast-on but is perfect for holding a special snuggly yarn close to your neck. |
The lovely beaded Misty Soft Infinity Tube Scarf/Cowl by HeartStrings is knitted and finished as a continuous loop with no edges and no wrong side showing. |
Cocoon Me by RosyPosy Designs is a set of wonderfully textured cowl using a cocoon stitch that looks interesting on both sides and is especially snuggly worked in a single-ply merino yarn. The pattern also includes instructions for a shawlette. |
Ilga Leja's Tundra cowl both warms
and adorns the shoulders, neck, and head. Worked from the bottom up, it can be
adjusted in length. Work it as a simple rolled neck cowl. Or knit the neck and
head portion to an extreme length. |
Play with short rows with Jane Thornley's Once Upon a Cowl. Wear it around your shoulders or pull it over your head as an impromptu hood. |
