Chanson Cowl Pattern

Chanson Cowl, designed by Leah Prestamo, is a substantial neck warmer, with lots of comforting stocking stitch fabric set off by a pretty lace stitch pattern. What’s more, it is a great way to use up leftover bits of yarn from knitting a matching Chanson Cardigan.

This pattern is for a tube scarf worked in the round, with the ends grafted together to form a cowl. Length can easily be modified by working more or fewer repeats of the lace section and adding or removing a corresponding number of stockinette stitch rows.

Chanson is part of the Better Together collection, six stunning knitting pattern designs from three fabulous knitwear designers.
