Free Pattern – Streeterville Cowl

Stay warm and cozy without a lot of bulk! The Streeterville cowl works up quickly, and the linen stitch pattern creates a light and drapey fabric. I designed this for the yarn from one of my early attempts at spinning. The stitch pattern really allows the texture of uneven or thick-and-thin yarns to shine, so it’s great for novice spinners! It softens color transitions too, so works well with self-striping yarns.

Instructions:

Note: You may find it helpful to mark the first stitch of each row with a stitch marker or piece of scrap yarn

Rnd 1 (RS): Work 83 fsc, join with sl st to first st.  (83 fsc)

OR Ch 84 loosely, sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across, join with sl st to first sc. (83 sc)

Rnd 2: Do not turn, ch 1, sk first st, sc in next st, ch 1, sk next st) around, do not join. (41 sc, 42 sps)

Rnds 3-31:  Continue working around, without joining or turning. (Sc, ch 1) in each sp, and sk each st. End row 31 with an sc.

Adjustment Row: (ch 1, sk next st, sc in next sp) 7 times. This partial row adjusts for the shift that naturally occurs when working in continuous rounds. After completing this row, you should be directly above the join from round 1.

Rnd 32: Sc in each sp and in each st around. (83 sc)

Fasten off and weave in all ends. Use starting tail to sew the gap closed at the bottom of row 1.
