North Road Cowl Knitting Pattern

I’ve been knitting my Gales of November hats, headbands, and cowls for some time now, and as I knit, I often dream about other spiral knit patterns that are easy and mindless to make. I really wanted to try an arrangement with less twisted stitch spirals that also featured a purl bump on each side of the spiral, creating an element that almost looks like a botanical vine with roots twisting upwards - and that’s how this pattern was born.

I’ve named this cowl after the road I live on, and my knitting business, North Road Knits.

This cowl coordinates with my North Road Hat and Headband patterns. I’ve written the pattern to be made in one size (with tips to adapt it if needed) with Super Bulky Yarn. Show in Malabrigo Rasta.

The cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up.

Uses US 15.0 - 10.0mm needles.
