Simple Ribbed Cowl (Neck Warmer) Free Knitting Pattern for Beginners

Simple Ribbed Cowl (Neckwarmer) is a free knitting pattern for beginners

Wanting to create patterns that help beginners add skills was the driving force behind this pattern – and like so many of my patterns, this is a great template to knit again and again adding your own flair.

Simple Ribbed Cowl is a great practical step to knitting and purling in one smaller and more achievable project.

Cowls are a great way to keep your neck and décolletage warm, with out the fuss of a scarf undoing.  Cowls sit perfectly into the neckline of coats, and act like a higher neckline for sweaters.  Plus you can snuggle your chin in!

Pattern Notes:

This pattern is designed to add purl to your knitting skills, and give you a wonderful template of cowl (neck warmer, snood) to experiment with as your skills grow.

It knits flat and uses a 6 row pattern repeat, until your ball of Sumptuous runs low, at which point you’ll cast off and sew up!
