Pattern: The Mallory Cowl (Child Version and Adult Version)
Yarn: Cascade 220 Heathers in colorway 9322
what's this another cowl? yep, it's a cowl..lol. what can i say? how could i deny the loving request of my 4 1/2 year old daughter? she saw me enjoying my many new cowls and begged to have one just for her. so i thought i would use a skein of cascade 220 heathers that i had in my stash and whip her up a super cozy turquoise cowl!
with yarn held double you get a squishy, yummy warm cowl. something fun for them to put on that's big enough to keep them warm but not too big that it won't fit under their coats. the nice thing about cowls is that my daughter will always rip her scarf off and she leaves her cowls alone. no knots or ends to strangle on and it's tucked under her coat and out of her way when she plays.
i think she likes it....lol! the other fun thing about this cowl is it's a simple knit/purl combo rib that is super easy for a beginner to practice knitting on but also a great project for an advanced knitter to use that special yarn they want to showcase. i also think the pattern would be perfect for both boys and girls to wear. cowls are versatile and stylish. wanna make one??

what a darling cowl! and what's funny is i made one very similar, in a similar color, last year - for my sister MALLORY. :) i'd love to make one for my daughter though. she requested one last year! thanks!
ReplyDeleteShannon you are my hero! I am totally knitting this for my 5 year old. Bought a skein of Patons wool (what knitter can resist 220 yarns of lovely worsted wool for $5? I ask you!) in light pink to make something for her and she asked for "a scarf like that", pointing to my cowl. This is it! Yay!
ReplyDeleteOooh LOVE this cowl darlin! Must make ASAP. Will have to find chubby circulars tho. And OMG Deer Dress, cutest thing evar.
ReplyDelete:)
I "had" to make a cowl for Noelle after she saw my Gaptastic cowl. This pattern is so cute and the color is so perfect for your girl.
ReplyDeleteI just bought loads of Wool-ease thick-and-quick because I'm adding some chunky items to my store, but I'm sure I can spare a little to make a "Mallory"
So precious! And I'm so jealous of how you can whip these out! Posted my first vlog today... Casting On. :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad I don't know much more than that. Ha ha!
Absolutely gorgeous! If you were to make it for an adult, how much bigger would you go?

ReplyDeleteSO cute! I love the cowl for your little girl!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm printing the pattern and think I'll make it for my youngest sister for Christmas, using some navy yarn I've been saving.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I really enjoy your blog, though I don't think I've posted before. I'm about to start mommy-hood (DD Feb. 7) and look forward to the inspiration to DIY!

She is such a beauty! I am making good progress on my holiday knits. Currently working on some quick knits that need mailing.
ReplyDeleteI love it! And it matches her gorgeous eyes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, she looks so adorable in it, and it matches her incredibly blue eyes!
ReplyDeleteOh, if I had the time??? I think most of the patterns above are actually on my list as well as some boy knits...but, unfortunately I do not have an unlimited supply of time or money, so I am sticking to the original plan. Which is also starting to worry me a bit, because I might not finish...
Lovely! I'm going to try to crank out three of these this weekend. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love the yarn color!!! Do you get your Cascade yarn online?
ReplyDeleteOMGosh...your daughter is so beautiful! Her brilliant blue eyes are striking. Heartbreaker right there.
ReplyDeleteOMgosh, Shannon, she's glowing! She's sooooo happy. I have never made myself a cowl, or worn a cowl, so I'm afraid if I made this for Aria she'd be mostly confused. But, I do see how this makes a lot more sense than a scarf for a child! Hmm....
ReplyDeletethanks you guys!! I'm glad you all are liking it! Please, pretty please make sure to add your projects to Ravelry and your pics to our flickr group. I love, love, love seeing them!
ReplyDelete@Rachel - try casting on 44sts for a shorter single cowl she can just slip on. @ummashin made one for her daughter like that and it's adorable!
@mommafo - I got it at a local yarn shop but I'm sure you can buy Cascade 22o heathers online. Try Jimmy Beans wool.
@emily - Thanks hun! And thx for the comment too! so exciting on the new baby! Congrats on your pregnancy. Hope you are feeling good :)
WOW, Shannon!!! I don't knit, but I am super-impressed. I want one :) So, so cute and Mack is A-dorable (with a capital A). Wonderful job!!
ReplyDeleteWow. crazy timing, Shannon. I just blogged yesterday that I needed a cowl pattern for my girlie and then I see you posted this! So wonderful, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused about the pattern. From the picture, it looks like a K2, P2 ribbing. If knitting in the round, the instructions seem to create a basketweave or box-like stitch. What am I missing? Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - Thank you so much for pointing that out. you are right, it should be knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches each round. I fixed the pattern above and will be uploading a new pdf with the correction.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for pointing that out...much appreciated :)
Lovely for sure! Is there a video somewhere of this yard held double? ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Children!!!!!! I love the patterns, they're getting better and better! Wish I had them when my girls were young. Thank you for sending them.
