Another Beautiful (and Free) Pattern - The Ivy Bramble Spiral Galaxy Neck Cowl - Simply, Easy and Fast

Hello Everyone and Happy Fall!

Now that the temperatures are starting to drop, put a neck cowl on that will chase the chill away!  Introducing another beautiful (and free) pattern - The Ivy Bramble Spiral Galaxy Neck Cowl.  This simple, easy and fast neck cowl spirals around with an easy repeat that continues through to the end of the cowl.   And because this neck cowl only needs 100 grams of chunky yarn, it becomes a  perfect cowl for gift giving!

The cowl I am wearing is made with 1 skein of Berroco Borealis yarn - I have seen a lot of the cowls as our classes have grown very fond of them - and all the colors work!   Others yarns that also work (in the one skein range of course) are Ivy Bramble Superwash Chunky, Plymouth Baby Grande Alpaca (so soft!), and Berroco Peruvia Quick.    Another favorite has been the Berroco Lodge, but you need two of these!   Here is a quick link to all of our Chunky Yarns to assist in finding your favorites.  Or visit our shop to see them in person and we can help you pick some new favorites.

Have a great day and keep warm!

KWF Big Needle Infinity Cowl is Warm, Soft, and a Really, Really Fast Knit on KWF US 35 12 inch needles!



I'm smiling because I am wearing the new KWF Big Needle Infinity Cowl and it is warm, soft, and a really, really fast knit on size US 35 12 inch needles!   This scarf measures 10 inch wide and 7 feet long before joining into a scrumptious and takes about 2 to 3 hours tops to make.  Straight garter stitch and a beautiful choice of yarn and you are on your way putting a big smile on someone you love!

Above cowl shown in 1 skein of Ultra Alpaca Slate 62113 and 2 skeins of Trendsetter Dune Color #100.   Yarn kit with free pattern available when you click here.

This cowl was created using the Made in NH hand-made KWF Big Knitting Needles Size 35 (19 mm) 12 inch (300 mm) needles.  These needles are perfect for big stitch projects and you will use them over and over!   

Enjoy!
