Meadow Cowl

Cozy meets chic in this meadow stitch cowl. Worked in the round in my signature cluster puff stitch, it creates a plush, squishy tube of texture that sits beautifully at the neck — all the warmth of a scarf with none of the fussing, tucking, or retying.

The finished cowl measures about 9 inches tall (with the optional fur trim) and 12 1/2 inches wide laid flat, and takes around 230 yards of size 4 yarn. Want it wider? The pattern includes a simple note for adjusting the starting chain. The faux fur trim on the edge is completely optional, but it adds such a luxe finishing touch.

You will need a J hook (6 mm), about 230 yards of size 4 yarn, a tapestry needle, and scissors. The stitch list is wonderfully short — chains, single crochet, and cluster puff — with the special stitch explained step by step, making this one of the most relaxing meadow stitch projects in my shop.
