This weeks #showmeyourknits is cowls, so I wanted to share one of my personal favorites, the "Finola cowl".

Whoops. In my overexcited state, I forgot the hashtags: #knitting #knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits

Knitted cowl and matching fingerless mitts on a chair. Each piece has the same three colors and patterns.

Cold Brew cowl with bonus pic of matching mitts. Rotated the colors so I'd have enough yarn.

I have more cowls. #ShowMeYourKnits

Ok so it’s cowl week, and I missed cables week, so I’m posting a cabled cowl!

This was my answer to, ‘What should I do with this fabulous yarn I got in Anchorage?’ White is qiviut & arctic fox, blue is qiviut. More deets in alt!

A grey alien ‘autopsy’ in progress—a knitted toy meant to be pinned down like a dissection with a large elongated grey head, big black eyes, elongated limbs and fingers, and a cut open abdomen containing green, orange, pink, light blue, turquoise & dark purple organs. The organs are all trailing unfinished ends which will be used to sew them in once the body is finished blocking. A tapestry needle sits on the white cloth the alien is drying on.

@stonkers.bsky.social look!!! I’m *almost* done with my alien!!! 👽

Thank you SO MUCH for making the pattern!!

#showmeyourknits is cowls, one of my favorite things to make.

A woman wearing pink and purple spectacles and a grey shirt standing in a conservatory. She is wearing a cowl pulled up over the lower portion of her face. The cowl is dark blue with an ipright pattern of stylised leaf shapes on stems rising from the base of the cowl. Each leaf is a different colour - orange, red, green, light grey, pink and blue. Due to the fact the cowl is knit in garter stitch, it can be positioned to flare out over the shoulders. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/toph-compagne Background yarn: KDD Schiehallion in Faded Overalls. Leaf shapes: KDD Buachaille in various colours.

A large shaped cowl with a high almost polo ribbed neck and a circular yoke body in colourwork stripes. The top stripe is light to medium blue, the next down is green, then yellow, orange and red. Each stripe consists of a zigzag pattern in stranded colourwork. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knowe Background yarn: KDD Schiehallion in Faded Overalls. Leaf shapes: KDD Buachaille in various colours

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 Cowls in colourwork, another favourite technique. On left: Toph Compagne by Tom Paterson, on right Knowe by Kate Davies. Both use the same yarns, KDD Buachaille and Schiehallion; one is short row colourwork, the other stranded. Both are fantastic patterns to knit.

A textured striped Moebius cowl on a display model standing in front of greenery. The cowl has a picot edge and appears to ripple around the neck. The stripes are of turquoise and teal, so they are subtle stripes. Yarn: Doulton Border Leicester 4ply in Turquoise and Saltholme

A Moebius cowl lying on a blocking board it is textured in a self striping yarn, colours are pale pink yellow and light blue Yarn: Plymouth Gina

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 One of my favourite cowl shapes is the Moebius. I find it sits neatly round my neck and doesn't get in my way. I designed The Wheel as a textured piece, of any width or length, in multiple yarn weights.

Only took me a year! Pattern said lap blanket using fingering & 2.75mm needles. I used aran weight & 3.5mm!

A pink slightly tonal cowl still on the needles. It has a deep lower rib, and a centre covered in cables and diamonds enclosing a double moss stitch centre. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/confluence-cable-cowl

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is Cowls. I have 37 cowl listed in my Rav projects page, which does seem a lot! First up, my most recent, not quite finished, but who's counting! This is the Confluence Cable Cowl, by @samantha-west.bsky.social in Malabrigo Rios English Rose. I just have the top rib to do🧶

Close up picture of a knitted cowl arranged on a table to show both the outside texture and inside smoother texture. The outside features a framework of off-white yarn in a pattern of staggered, mutliple-row slipped stitches over a background of variegated green-rose-purple yarn; the overall effect is somewhat like a honeycomb of white over a bank of variegated color. Yarn is Malabrigo Rios in Ivory and Arco Iris; pattern is 'Just Weave It' by Susan Ashcroft https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-weave-it---2024

I'm told this week's #showmeyourknits is cowls - my mom was constantly cold during her last decade, and she convinced me to make several for her; which of course I never took pics of. Here's one I knit 🧶 for my kid's school auction - it actually sold for what it was worth in time & materials!

Four cowls (stranded knitting) with motifs of octopus, mari llwyd, dodo and owl.

This week's theme on #showmeyourknits is cowls. I've designed lots of #cowls over the years. Here are four of my favourites... but there are more designs on my Ravelry page.🧶

This week’s theme is cowls. I like cowls, scarves, hats, and other small knits as they generally fit a wide range of people and are therefore more flexible as gifts.

Sparkly pink, yellow, and orange infinity scarf

The same scarf doubled and worn as a cowl

#ShowMeYourKnits: cowl!

This can be an infinity scarf or a cowl, not sure which I was thinking of when I made it.

Sorry folks, I don't cowl (hate things crawling around my neck) but here's one from years ago that I frogged to make something I would actually use. #ShowMeYourKnits

#showmeyourknits Week 90, Cowls. This is my favorite. a double loop, knit as a long tube in little Scandinavian pattern until I was out of yarn.

A smug middle-aged woman's freshly manicured hand holds a circular needle on which she is knitting an oatmeal-coloured sleeve and cuff ribbing.

So I decided to try out a tip doing the rounds on Instagram for even ribbing (k1, p1 tbl), and bugger I down dead, it works. #knitting #knitsky #ShowMeYourKnits

A gray knitted cowl with ribbing at the top and bottom and a raised diagonal textured stitch pattern across lies on a concrete surface. A skein of matching super bulky gray yarn and a circular knitting needle rest nearby.

This cowl started life as a hat without a gauge swatch (because who swatches for a hat!?) ... I was well into the project when I realized it never fit a human head, but would easily pull straight over one. So a cowl was born. Done and done!

Cowls! #showmeyourknits. I do love knitting cowls - perfect for my winter climate. Here’s 2 of my most recent ones - details in the alt text

A handknit cowl in progress (WIP) using Sanquhar patterns in navy and white.

A smiling brown-haired woman in a grey sweatshirt models an enormous handknit cowl done using Sanquhar patterns in navy and white.

Cowl week!

This cowl was a pandemic project. I decided to take on something stranded that would force me to master 2-handed colorwork. It took the better part of a a year and the difference in gauge between the beginning and ending inches is laughable.

YAY!

Multicolored cowl. This item was donated to the library silent auction.

Original pattern. Color is actually grey with purple tones.

I finally have something for #showmeyourknits. The pattern came from a friend who also gave me the yarn in the second picture.

It is cowls week on #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 so here, again, is my Tesserino cowl.

Zebra cowl Picture shows a cowl lying flat in dark maroon and beige zebra pattern. It is handknitted and for decoration there lay 2 dried exotic flowers in dark yellow at the right side. Cowl knitted in the round. You begin with a ribbed cuff. Then knit the zebra pattern in fairisle technique with two contrasting colours. Materials:
You need DK Yarn in two contrasting colours. Gauge of 22 stitches by 27 rounds (per 4”/10cm) for colour work in stockinette in the round after blocking. You will need about 170m per colour, and for the ribbing another 80m in one colour (170m + 80m = 250m) Size
Finished size of the cowl, when measured flat after blocking (width x height): 
12.5”/32cm x 9.5’’/24cm without ribbing or 13’’/32cm with ribbing. Circumference of the cowl, when measured in the round after blocking: 
25”/63.5cm Variation: 
Using Sport weight yarn with a gauge of 24 stitches per 4’’/10cm, the cowl will be shorter and tighter, with a circumference of approximately 23’’/58cm. 
I advise against using yarn thinner than Sport (24-26 st / 4”), as the cowl is pulled over the head and the zebra pattern isn’t particularly stretchy. Full transparency: I’m promoting it here as an independent knitting designer (Ad).

Week 90 for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 and guest host @samantha-west.bsky.social and @livrunsfast.bsky.social want to see cowls.
This is lovely! I Made some this winter.

A flat lay photo of a partially knitted colourwork cowl. The cowl has a taupe ribbing, and features one row of finished chili peppers and one row of partially knitted ones. Alongside the cowl are two red ceramic bowls with geometric designs, the one has a green chili pepper and the other a pair of chili pepper earrings! This is all shown on a taupe geometric carpeted background

And it wouldn't be #showmeyourknits cowl week without at least one cowl WIP!! 😁

So enter the Chili pepper cowl! 🌶️🌿 🪴✨ There is no pattern for this one but the chili pepper motif has been adapted from the Stone Knits' Spicy socks pattern, and is knitted in Elle Merino DK ☺️
