Note: This listing is not for physical samples. It only includes the PDF instructions to knit this pattern.

Sizes: Hooded Cowl (rainbow colors)

A cozy tube that starts with small bubbles and increases to large bubbles for a hooded effect.

Infinity Cowl (greens & neutrals)

A longer tube seamed together with bubbles in the same size throughout the fabric.

Finished Measurements: Hooded Cowl

30” / 76cm circumference around neck, 19” / 48cm at widest part, 9” / 23cm at narrowest part.

Infinity Cowl

48” / 122cm sideways circumference after seaming to CO edge to the BO edge, 24” / 61cm wide.

Yarn: DK or worsted weight

Yardage: 1 skein of each color

The sample is a multi-color version. I used less than one skein of each color and most colors used leftover bits of yarn. If you have six full skeins of DK weight yarn, that should be plenty to knit both size variations of this cowl.

Hooded Cowl

Approximately 775yds / 709m total

If you are knitting a six-color sample of the hooded cowl style, you will need approximately 129yds / 118m or a bit less of each color.

Needles: US 6 / 4mm circular in 24” / 60cm length or size needed to obtain gauge

Aim for a crisp dense gauge so the bubble fabric is structured and not too loose.
