My quick and cosy snowball cowl design combines a luxury yarn with a quick to knit design to create a delightful winter accessory. This speedy knit uses 7mm needles and a bulky weight yarn for cosiness.

The snowballs are made by knitting large bobbles inside a cable circle shape. The large snowball bobbles are worked quickly over 5 rows in stocking stitch as part of the main pattern, rather than turning the work continually as is more common with a one-row bobble. The cowl is worked as along rectangle, with the cast-on and cast-off edges seamed together after knitting to create the loop.

Wear as an elegant long loop or wrapped around the neck twice for cosy warmth.
