Hip to be Square (Cowl)

$8.50

There’s something wonderfully cosy about a cowl you can pull up around your neck when the weather turns chilly.

Hip to be Square combines textured stitches with colourful geometric details, creating a generous, playful cowl that’s as enjoyable to wear as it is to knit.

Worked in the round, the cowl uses one main colour with five small amounts of contrasting fingering-weight yarn. It’s a great opportunity to use mini skeins and leftovers, whether you want your colours to really pop or prefer a more subtle combination.

The pattern includes both written instructions and charts, along with detailed instructions for the techniques used.

Hip to be Square is also part of a coordinating collection with matching hat and mittens.
