The Big Hearted Cowl was originally conceived as a thankyou gift for a woman with a super big heart who brings much goodness to the world. I’m sharing it in the hope of spreading the joy a little further. Enjoy!

The cowl is knitted in the round seamlessly. It can be worn straight or can be doubled over for a cosier neck.

This pattern would be great for an advanced beginner or intermediate knitter; anyone who is a little bit adventurous.

The best thing about this pattern is there is absolutely no counting!! Just read your knitting to know where you are up to. In the rib section - knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches. And for the lace section - I have included some pictures in the Helpful Tips section on the last page to ensure that if you get lost you will be able to figure out where you are up to. I hope they help.

A note about gauge:
Choose a aran weight yarn that has a recommended gauge of approximately 14-18 stitches per 10cm in stocking stitch on an approximately 6mm needle. In the pattern we use a larger needle size to ensure a drapier result. Once blocked you achieve a gauge of approximately 12 stitches per 10cm. It is a very flexible pattern.
The pattern also includes some advice if you wanted to use a worsted weight yarn.
