This simple cowl is perfect for those new to knitting in the round. There are no increases and decreases and all you need to know is how to knit and purl. In this video, I teach you how to knit the entire cowl step-by-step. I first teach you how to cast on, using the long-tail cast-on method, and then join the work in the round so you can begin knitting this easy cowl on circular knitting needles. I show you how to change the gauge so you can knit it in any yarn weight and needle size. It's a great foundational cowl for you to put your own spin on.

Hi Ashley! Thank you for this tutorial. I'm horrible with math. LOL... So, thank you for showing us. I'm going to be casting on using a #4 weight yarn and will gift it to my mom. Again, thank you so much.

Happy New Year, Ashley, I used your cast-on converter and got the same 110 st counts, so I'm now confident I am using the table correctly. The cowl although simple is lovely and would go nicely with (hint, hint) legwarmers. Thank you for this new pattern and access to your converter table.

I used Loops and Threads Charisma (weight 5 yarn) and 8mm needles, casted on 61 stitches and it came out to 11” wide like this one. I love it! The yarn striped so beautifully for this size, and I’m going to put it to use tomorrow for a fishing trip 🙂 Thank you for the tutorial!

Very nice work and a very good teacher! I’ve already knit this but at the end of the cowl after cast off the rib is not so flexible like at the beginning! Somebody told me that I should cast off only with purl stitch!!! Is that correct?

Namaste 🙏 I'm from India. I'm a beginner and I know to knit only with straight needles. Your project is very nice and I want to knit one. Will you please show me how to knit the same cowl with straight needles? Thank you

Hi Ashley, Thank you so much for this tutorial, I would like to knit this cowl for my daughters, however I don’t have the same needle size or yarn. I have a US 10 (6mm) and a bulky #5. How many stitches should I cast on? Can you help me? Thank you 😊

Im attempting my first knit in the round using this video. Using a very thin yarn... Having real trouble with the first round being tight on the length of thr needs. Using the shortest cable that came with it, so not sure what I'm doing wrong other than maby needing shorter cables?

@AshleyLillisKnits Жыл бұрын

16” is usually the shortest and should definitely work with the cowl if you cast on enough stitches. Did you adjust your stitch count for your gauge?

hi! Can I use 12 mm us 17 20inch needles? its the closest I have... do you think that would still work..

@AshleyLillisKnits Жыл бұрын

You can! The cowl will be bigger though if you follow the pattern exactly as written!

@Debnfl 5 ай бұрын

I followed your pattern but for some reason mine ended up 12 inches wide. I am new to knitting so I’m not surprised mine doesn’t look like yours, but I don’t understand why it’s as wide as it is unless it’s because maybe I stitch too loosely.

@tigbeswick595 Жыл бұрын

I’m a bit confused by the ‘cast on an even number of stitches, then drop a stitch to connect the first round to the second round’. Doesn’t that make it an uneven number of stitches and change the ‘K1, P1’ pairing for the rib rows? Am I overthinking this? Will it work?

@AshleyLillisKnits Жыл бұрын

Cast on an even number of stitches, Add an extra stitch to drop to connect in the round…. Then you’ll have an even number of stitches. There are various ways to join in the round so the base pattern is casting on an even number of stitches. Hope that helps!

@@AshleyLillisKnitsHow on earth did I miss this! You say it quite clearly in the video around 5:45. Sigh. Apologies for missing it the first time around. I’ve made one and now making another. Such a wonderful easy project when one has the flu. Thank you! ❤
