A hand knit cowl is a fast & fun way to update your look. 

 

Breathe new life into your favorite sweater, blouse or Tee by simply layering on hand knit cowl. Play with your most flattering color with Laura Aylor's new Point of Libra cowl, knit in 6 different shades you'll enjoy knitting and wearing this garter stitch project. 

Or go for a flowing cowl in a solid colorway with a sweet lace design. Fiber Dream's Lisca is also knit in garter stitch and will look beautiful in a color that matches your eyes. 

Perhaps you prefer longer cowl which can be worn full length or wrapped around your neck.  Chiagu's Chamomile is worked in a stitch that is reversible, smart for when you do decide to wrap it!

Update Your Winter Wardrobe:Part II Hand Knit Cowls

Breathe new life into your favorite sweater, blouse or Tee by simply layering on hand knit cowl. Since a cowl is worn near your face color is extremely important, use a shade that flatters your skin tone and of course your eyes.  

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!

Knit in a bulky yarn French Press Knits' Montebello cowl is a quick knit perfect for advanced beginners but interesting enough for every level knitter.

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.
