Scollar is a cowl pattern available in 2 sizes: a close-fit and a wider one. This is a pattern I came up with while knitting a cowl for my son (he is my model for these pictures). This is one of the few times he asked me to knit something for him, so I jumped out of joy and grabbed my needles to please him. He needed a minimalist, dark-coloured cowl to wear as a “faux turtleneck collar” (he couldn’t be more specific) to keep his neck warm and cozy in a classroom with open windows. The yarn is really a perfect choice for this one, since it may look quite rustic, yet it feels as soft as you can dream of!
The wider version came as an option later on, when I wanted to test my idea and knit another cowl with a more generous look; this one is a gift to my son’s godfather, so they can wear similar cowls and joke about how different they actually look!
Scollar is worked in one-colour Syncopated Brioche
Stitch, starting from the top. It features a Brioche Short Rows section that creates a nice, wavy finishing to help it stay in place and keep the neck warm and cozy. I have provided links to Video Tutorials for the CO, BO and Brioche Short Rows and included photos that will guide you to the latter (although it sounds more difficult than it actually is), so go ahead and enjoy knitting a Scollar!
