Cozy up with this garter stitch cowl, a free knitting pattern that’s perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike! This soft and draping accessory is a must-have for chilly days! Since one size fits most, it makes a fantastic handmade gift or a stylish piece to keep for yourself. You’ll be working with a single strand of merino DK and lace yarn held together, using about two skeins of each. If you prefer, you can substitute with worsted or Aran weight yarn used singly for a slightly different texture. The cowl is knit in the round using a simple slip/wrap technique, which is explained in detail in the free pattern below. This fun and approachable project is a great way to practice knitting in the round while creating a beautiful, warm, and modern accessory!
