Here is the pattern for our knit-along.  I have modified it from the Morton Cowl pattern, which you can buy on Ravelry if you want.  The original pattern is for fingering yarn, and I have modified it to use worsted.  

 

Slip stitch cowl in two colors

 

SKILL LEVEL EASY 

 

MATERIALS 

1 skein worsted yarn, color A

1 skein worsted yarn, color B

 

Needles 

One pair size 7 (4.5mm) or size 8 needles OR SIZE TO OBTAIN GAUGE 

Notions 

Tapestry needle 

 

MEASUREMENTS 

Width around approx 36"/91.5cm 

Depth 8-12 inches 

 

GAUGE 

17 sts = 4 inches with size 8 needles. 

Gauge is not critical; close is fine.

 

Abbreviations

K knit

P purl

RS right side

sl slip stitch

WS wrong side

yback with yarn in back

yfront with yarn in front

 

COWL 

With A, cast on 35-47 sts. For my gauge, 35 stitches makes a depth of 8 inches.  47 stitches would make it around 12 inches.  Choose the depth you like, but be sure to cast on an odd number of stitches.

 

Purl 1 row with A. 

 

Begin Tweed Pattern 

ROW 1 (RS) With B, sl 1 st yback, *k1, sl 1 st yback; rep from * to end. 

ROW 2 (WS) With B, sl 1 st yfront, *k1, sl 1 yfront; rep from * to end. 

ROW 3 With A, knit. 

ROW 4 With A, purl. 

Rep rows 1–4 for tweed pattern until piece measures approx 36 inches, or desired length,  

from beginning (or until all of B is used), ending last rep with a pat row 3. 

Bind off purlwise with A. 

 

FINISHING 

 

Sew the bound-off edge to the cast-on edge to form the cowl.  Using tapestry needle, weave in ends on the WS.
