Belhaven Cowl
Snuggly brioche infinity scarf in fingering and dk
£6.00
- DK (Double Knitting) weight yarn
- Low vision format included
- Mobile friendly format included
- Also available on Ravelry
The Belhaven cowl is a fast and meditative knit for fans of brioche knitting. Simple enough to help you master the brioche stitch, satisfying enough to keep you knitting.
The Belhaven Cowl pattern is written for two lengths, single or double loop and two weights, fingering and DK. Choose to knit it in fingering for a light, airy cowl, or DK for a slightly heavier, cosier option. Loosely knit brioche makes for a snuggly, warm fabric in either yarn weight. Instructions are giving to achieve the length shown and of course you could experiment with longer or shorter versions — just be sure to swatch and check yardage.
As the majority of the cowl is worked in brioche knit flat, this is a soothingly repetitive project that would be perfect for someone getting to grips with brioche stitch for the first time. This knitted cowl pattern is an invitation to learn new techniques too. The cowl begins and ends with a stockinette tube that is twisted before the ends are grafted together. The twist makes the cowl easy to wear, toss it on quickly and know that it will always be draped stylishly.
