Chunky Knit Charcoal Cowl

Chunky Knit Charcoal Cowl (Child or Toddler)

Free Knitting Pattern

I knit a scarf as a Christmas gift and had a little over half of a skein left of Bernat Mega Bulky Yarn (love this big, fat yarn!). I thought it would be perfect to make my daughter another cowl.  I knit it flat, but it would be lovely knit in the round as well.

 

You will need:

1 Skein Bernat Mega Bulky Yarn, Dark Grey Heather

(Any Color you would like is fine!)

Size 35 knitting needles ( I used straight needles), but  you could use 16 inch circular as well if you can find them

Scissors

Tapestry Needle

Any grey yarn to make a pom-pom

Pattern:

Cast on 28, leaving a tail to sew up the seam

Row 1-3 Knit (Garter Stitch) for 3 Rows

*Row 4 Purl

Row 5 Knit*

Repeat from * to * (working in knit, purl stockinette) until you reach the height that you like.  This one was about 6 inches.  Knit cast off.  The top does curl a bit, so if you don't like it to curl, do a few more rows of garter stitch. I liked it to roll down a bit.

Gently sew up the seam with a mattress stitch ( a simple stitch that will keep you from seeing the seam.  Great tutorials online on how to do the mattress stitch)

The Pom Pom is optional, but they are very easy to make.  I haven't done a tutorial on making one, but there are plenty on www.youtube.com   Attach your pom wherever you like it!

There you have it! A perfect stash buster and cute as can be.
