Slumber Cowl
Choose four colors of Aran weight yarn and fade them together for this beginner- friendly cowl pattern. The cowl is knit flat and then seamed together at the end for an infinity-style cowl. The waves are created with yarn over increases and decreases framed by I-cord edges. The length is customizable, so you can also knit this pattern with DK or worsted weight yarn. Enjoy this cozy and warm winter accessory!
Finished Measurements
54″ / 137cm circumference.
19″ / 48cm wide. Measurements taken after blocking.
The length is customizable.
Yarn
Aran weight
DK weight yarn will work for this cowl as well for a slightly narrower cowl. You can customize the circumference of the cowl by knitting fewer or more pattern repeats.

CO 20 sts.
Row 1 (RS): K all sts.
Row 2 (WS): P all sts.
