The Stocking Stuffer cowl is stuffed with holiday cheer. Candy cane stripes, little reindeer, Christmas trees and poinsettias circle the neck of this cowl. No time to knit a Christmas sweater? Try a Christmas cowl! The Stocking Stuffer cowl is super quick and, unlike a Christmas sweater, you can wear it EVERY SINGLE DAY in December. This cowl is a great gift OR the perfect topper to show off your holiday spirit! Available in child & adult sizes, you can knit one for the entire family (I’ve even included a toddler modification for a little-bitty Christmas cowl).
Worked SEAMLESSLY from the top down, the Stocking Stuffer cowl knits up quickly (like any good cowl should), but wears like a hassle-free shawl. Unlike traditional tube cowls that rumple into a pile of knitting around your neck, this shawl-shaped construction lets your knitting shine by creating a triangular front and shortened back. The shape is wonderful, wearable, and just plain fun to knit.
This Cowl Includes:
- Top-Down, Seamless Construction
- Shawl-Shaped Wearability
- Simple, Fun Colorwork
- Charts & Written Instructions
- Endless Stash-Busting Opportunities
SIZES

NOTE: This pattern also includes a toddler modification that shortens the child size by eliminating the poinsettia motif.
