| Knit Cowl |
Hello blog friends. I am happy to say that I finally finished knitting the cowl that I started making back in the fall. I finished this in the middle of January but I did not get a chance to share it on the blog until now.
I originally wanted to knit this into a large scarf for myself but I got a little bored knitting it. I figured out the solution and I decided to make it into a cowl. Does that ever happen to you where you get bored making something? I find for myself the seed stitch a little tedious. I will have to find a knit stitch that I like better for my next scarf I make.
You might remember me mentioning about this scarf and this yarn from this post I did HERE.

I knitted this cowl in the seed stitch and cast on 21 stitches. I used 9 US or 5.5 mm needles. The cowl is 25 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide.
I folded the cowl in half and then sewed up the two sides together to form a cowl.

This is what the knit cowl looks like. I am so happy I finished knitting the cowl and I enjoy wearing it with my outfits and different coats.

I still have two more skeins of this yarn left and at some point I will probably make myself crocheted handwarmers.
Do you have any finished projects on your needles?
Thanks for stopping by and have a nice week and weekend.

Unfortunately I don't knit but I love seeing your creations. This cowl is so pretty and I bet it's keeping you warm right now!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your finished product Julie! Also the color of this cowl is nice too. It’s been awhile since I’ve been here but miss your posts. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Oooooh, your finished cowl is a work of art, my friend! Love the color and pattern.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
This is lovely! If I was going out on this snowy day, I'd love to wrap myself in this. Take care and stay cozy.
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a quicker finish. I have a few projects started but none of them finished. Knitting projects go really slow for me.

Nice Warm project
ReplyDeleteMany many years ago I knit I have no idea where they are now, but have fond memories wearing those. The stitch is immensely attractive. Your cowl is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the color and I think that you came up with a fabulous solution! I am off to pin since all I know how to make is a scarf, but I think I could close one up and make this!!
ReplyDeleteLove your infinite scarf..
ReplyDeleteGreat solution Julie, I prefer a cowl anyway a scarf tends to flap about. I love the colour it will go with so many things. :) xx
ReplyDeleteLove the color Julie! It's a color that is flattering for nearly everyone...light hair, dark hair, blue eyes or brown!

Love to see your talents Julie. This one is pretty and a great color. I have been wearing my pretty white scarf and love it. I am so glad you have continued to enjoy crocheting. It is becoming a lost art. So it is good to see that you still enjoy creating beautiful knit and crochet pretties. Have a wonderful day.

It looks beautiful! I'm sure it's very warm too. I have a spring cardigan on my needles, but it's still very cold to wear it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Hugs.
Although the seed stitch is tedious it looks so pretty when finished. I love the color of your cowl and I think you may get another few weeks of wear out of it!!
ReplyDeleteYour cowl is very pretty, Julie. I love the stitch and color. It's always so nice to finish a project. I know you mostly stitch for charity, so it is nice to see that you have made something beautiful for yourself. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteIt turned out so nice Julie. I love the color! Thanks for sharing it with SYC.
