Tapestry Cowl Pattern
It’s double the pleasure—and double the fun! Just in time for fall:
A pattern for a fully reversible, double-knit cowl.
“But I don’t know how to double knit!” I hear you cry. Never fear! I have created five incredibly clear and helpful videos (plus one bonus video!) to show you how to cast on and knit two sides of a fabric at once. It’s easier than you think, and will be a no-brainer for advanced knitters. You’ll be designing your own double-knit scarves, baby blankets, and even garments in no time after you watch my clever tutorials.
Plus, you get the elaborate, continuous brocade chart (with no repeats), designed exclusively by me, so that you, too, can wrap your neck in a cozy cowl of luxury.
All this for the low, low price of $5! You can buy it directly via PayPal, and soon you’ll be able to buy it through Ravelry. Please visit the project page for pattern details as well as to buy it!
Oh wow, this is fantastic! I love double knitting but it always felt sort of pointless…until now:)
Wonderful! Love this kind of cowl!
And now I want to make a cowl on size 2 needles.
You just made my Monday morning. I love this post! And this cowl! And these pictures!
So of course I had to buy the pattern right away. YAY!!!
Ha-ha! This is a low, low price for all of that!!
Beautiful cowl!
wow! it’s gorgeous! i may just consider trying fair-isle again :)
You know, I started a double knit scarf a while ago, and it was just too much double knitting for me. But a cowl? And videos? That is perfect! Gorgeous pattern, congrats :)
I just love this, and Koigu? Yum. :)
Simply beautiful. Just right for those cold, cold days. Can’t wait until the Times Style section picks it up on the streets of NYC.
This is lovely and very unique. Nice job.
I had no idea this would be SO gorgeous! That’s why you’re a designer and I am not!
Wow! This is fantastic! Too scared of fair-isling for now and I’m currently a DNF in the Olympics so I will have to wait for now. Beautiful though…
I’m all over this! Not like I need a reason to buy Koigu, but dude, only two skeins? Love it!
wow it looks great. You need a “as seen on blog” little symbol for the wonderful sales pitch you gave. Great job!
oooohhh! I’m very intrigued. I wonder how it will look in red and pink :)
Wow! you did an amazing job! I have not yet tried double knitting - I may have to give it a go!
I love this! Seriously one of the most beautiful cowl patterns I’ve seen out there.
e
gorgeous! i just might brave double knitting with your tutorials!
Brilliant! It’s beautiful. Makes me want to learn double knitting.
This is so pretty that I’m about to go buy the pattern even though I am weeks away from giving birth to twins and will not have time to make it for years and years. Still, just having the pattern will make me happy, I think.
Oh this is SO next up on my project list! I’ve been meaning to learn some double knitting!
How beautiful - great job!
this is incredible! wow!
So lovely, and innovative. I think there are going to be a lot of these made in the next few months, and I’m going to enjoy seeing everyone’s versions.
Wow! The cowl is stunning!!! I love it. It really stands out from a lot of the current cowl patterns. Now I just have to gear up to learn double knitting.
Gorgeous - I’ve wanted to try double-knitting for so long, what a beautiful excuse to give it a whirl. Perhaps I can eke it out before the weather turns cold here!
Congratulations on a beautiful design!
beautiful - and just two skeins of koigu! I love it!
You’re a genius. I love it!
I definitely have to learn this technique, not only is it beautiful, but such a practical piece. It’s going to be “brrrrr” where I’ll be living next. Another fabulous job!
Ooh pretty! Very tempting. I may have to give it a go.
Luv it!!
I can’t wait to get this on needles. Just downloaded it!!! You’re incredibly generous, there is so much information here. Thanks so much.
Oh my GOODNESS. I love it. I LOVE IT! ahhhhhhh!
Wow, this is just stunning! Now that I’m a Minnesotan again, I could really use a beautiful cowl just like this! Ooooh, I’m going to head to my new yarn shop and drool all over the koigu just as soon as I can!
So amazing! And double knitting is SO EASY now that I’ve learned it all from you! Congrats on earning money doing what you love :)
Beautiful!!
I can’t wait to learn how to double knit! This pattern is just beautiful!
It’s wonderful! You are so talented!
Brilliant and beautiful!
What a smart, small project for double-knitting. And perfect for people who like colorwork but have trouble with their tension.
I don’t know if I can resist a pitch like that!
Wow! This is truly gorgeous!! I love it!
Well, this has become the first project in my queue! I’ve always wanted to learn double-knitting and I love colorwork, so this looks great.
I’ve just found your site via Veronique’s link to this cowl, and I’ll be adding you to my google reader list.
This is so beautiful! I can’t wait to get started on it. I’m so happy that you popped up when I was doing a search for cowl patterns! Thanks so much!
