Simple 4ply Cowl
Combining Opal's self-patterning sock yarn and the solid colours of Socks Yeah 4ply, this tall cowl is a simple knit using circular needles. It's a great first 'in-the-round' project.
The self-patterning part uses 50g, or half a ball, of a Opal 4ply sock yarn. The solid colour, with simple to work polka dot holes, is one 50g hank of Socks Yeah 4ply.
It's an incredibly versatile pattern.
- Knit the whole cowl using the self-patterning sock yarn.
- Knit the whole cowl using a solid colour of Socks Yeah 4ply
- Knit a shorter cowl
- Stripe it!
I like the cowl tall, so that I can fold it in half. You can either have a flash of colour on the inside...
Or have the block colour on the outside...
We have a large collection of Opal shades in stock and, combined with over 25 shades in Socks Yeah 4ply, there are lots of colour combos you can try!
Check out our collection of Opal 4ply sock yarn and all the Socks Yeah 4ply shades. In fact we've just received the newest Opal collection. True Love is a single colour self-patterning yarn.
