I’ve been knitting cowls for the winter and my grand kids during the lockdown. This one is knitted with a blackberry stitch and circular knitting needles.
That is a lovely pattern. I bought a cowl in a local shop but it cost quite a lot and the layered design I liked used lots of different coloured wools. I realised when I got home I could have saved quite a bit of money by knitting it myself with wool from my stash. So well done Purplepixe for saving your family money too.
I've made countless cowls over the years, as they knit up quickly, make good presents, and I find them so useful. They are cosier and more difficult to lose than scarves, and can accessorise an outfit as well as being used outdoors to keep you warm.
Lovely cowl. I really like blackberry stitch although I don't know how to do it! Actually I'm not much of a knitter but admire knitting items...instead I prefer to sew.
Keep up the good work, I'm sure the recipients will love them too.
Hello! I love the blackberry stitch cowl. I'm in the grip of an episode of depression at the moment, and I'd love to be able to make something for the grandchildren with my huge stash of wool. Any guidance on needle sizes, wool thickness and measurements would be very welcome, please!
