About the Quick Knit Cowl / Neck Warmer:
This cowl/neck warmer is a must have for the winter! Not only is it made with chunky/thick yarn, but it can be folded over to provide double the warmth. This is a very quick knit and perfect for beginner knitters. The entire scarf consists of a 1x1 ribbed pattern which can be completed with the simple knit and purl stitches (watch the knit stitch 'how to' tutorial here, purl stitch tutorial here). My scarf ended up being about 22 inches in circumference & about 9.5 inches in width. I chose to use a bold red color to contrast the (at times) dreary winter days.
Materials I Used:
- 16'' US size 15 circular needles
- Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn (color: cranberry); 1 skein (108 yards)
The Quick Knit Cowl Neck Warmer Pattern:
[ If new to knitting, watch a video about how to follow knitting patterns here ]
Using 16'' US 15 circular needles, cast on 60 stitches in the round.
Round 1: *K1,P1*
Keep knitting in the round until desired width. I went on for ~27 rounds.

K1= knit 1 stitch
P1 = purl 1 stitch

Happy Knitting!

Hi Breona!
DeleteIf you're in the USA, you can find the Clover brand bamboo circular needles and they make 16'' US size 15 circular needles : ) I've seen it at Michaels, JoAnns, AC Moore, and Walmart!
If you're not in the USA, I'm not sure where to look :\ Perhaps you can try shopping online!
Good luck!
I purchased a huge tote full of yarn at a garage sale for $5.00. My plan is to use it to make hats to be donated to a ministry that helps the homeless. I found you by looking at you tube for instructions on knitting with circular needles. I don’t see anywhere that allows me to subscribe to your blog. Can you sign me up? sweetmem@juno.com
ReplyDeleteI’m excited to start learning.
Hi! I was wondering if you thought the Lion Brand Wool Ease "thick and quick" or "chunky" would work for your patterns that call for the Homestyle USA kind? I have a few steins of the two wool ease kinds that I want to use for scarves like this before buying more yarn :)
