Two Point Cowl

Cathy and Sarah visited last week and Sarah was wearing her Two Point Cowl. I should have taken pictures because it was so cute on her.

The pattern is from Churchmouse Yarns. You can purchase the pattern in the store or on Ravelry. The cowl would make a great Christmas gift for a friend or for yourself.

Two-Point Cowl in Two Gauges!

“Snuggle up right quick!” 
Inspired by our ever-popular Easy Folded Poncho, this scaled-down version is totally seamless and slips easily over the shoulders. The simple shape makes it easy to re-yarn in another gauge. Just swatch for a softly draping fabric, then multiply the schematic dimensions by your stitch gauge—the math is easy!

This is the chunky version.

Plush, chunky-weight Rowan Brushed Fleece yields a wonderfully cozy cowl. A knitterly version of the Northwest’s ubiquitous polar fleece, it’s a super-soft blend of extra fine merino and baby alpaca. Warm and insulating but remarkably light, Brushed Fleece has a rustic charm and a range of natural colors. Plus, all that plump fluff means you’ll be snuggled up in your cowl in no time!

Much like our beloved Easy Folded Poncho, this project is so simple and so enjoyable, you’ll want one in every yarn you can get your hands on! The key to re-gauging is to knit a generous swatch, one that’s at least 6” x 6”. Wet block your swatch, allow it to dry thoroughly and let it rest. You want a softly draping fabric that has some body but isn’t stiff. Once you have a fabric you like, measure and note your stitch gauge—Use the free re-gauging worksheet to do a little bit of simple math to achieve the finished dimensions. 

The 2-stitch I-cord side edges and bind-off give a beautiful, minimalist finish. Don’t skip the pressing step on this one—that’s what gives the fabric a designer ready-to-wear finish.

We have a colour of Brushed Fleece for everyone.

This version is knit in sport weight yarn.

Lynn knit a Two Point Cowl for herself in Noro. The striping is fun and it is super easy to adjust the pattern for any thickness of yarn.

After a lot of looking I found the pictures of the Two Point Cowls that hang in the store. We used Brushed Fleece for the mauve cowl and Rowan Cosy Merino for the ice blue cowl.

Dad and Lucy traveled to Myrtle Beach today. Two weeks without our baby is going to be a long time. Now I'm going to turn on the TV and the fireplace and knit for a while.
