It’s a Wrap: 275 Cowl & Scarf Knitting Patterns

by

For knitters, there’s nothing quite like a cowl or scarf knitting pattern. Chances are, one or the other was one of the first things you learned how to knit. Not only are these simple basics fun to knit, they also make great gifts. Personally, I can’t think of a single person who wouldn’t appreciate a knit scarf pattern from someone they loved.

Scarves and cowls are the quintessential knit accessory for a number of reasons. First of all, they can be worn year round. Depending on the type of yarn used, the same knitting pattern can be a completely different accessory perfect for whatever Mother Nature throws at you. Secondly, they’re a great learning tool for beginning knitters. Scarves are basically one giant rectangle, and cowls are just a large tube. They’re both wonderful shapes to master the fundamentals of knitting before moving on to larger, more complicated projects. Last but not least, scarves and knit cowl patterns make great weekend activities. Whether you’re plugged in for a movie marathon or you’re content sipping herbal tea by the fire, these small, portable projects are great for keeping your hands busy while letting your mind wander.
