Materials Needed
- Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn
- Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in ribbing
Step-by-Step Instructions
Beanie Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches onto your US size 15 knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for comfortable ribbing.
- Ribbing: Work in a k2, p2 ribbing pattern for 6 inches. This means you will knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches, and repeat this pattern across the row. Continue this until you reach the desired length.
- Decrease for the Crown: Once you have completed the ribbing, it’s time to shape the crown of the beanie. Begin decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together (k2tog) every 10 stitches. Repeat this process until you have 10 stitches remaining on your needle.
- Finish the Beanie: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the remaining 10 stitches and secure it tightly. Weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
Cowl Instructions
- Cast On: For the cowl, cast on 60 stitches onto your knitting needles. Ensure that your cast-on is loose enough to allow for stretch.
- Ribbing: Work in a k2, p2 ribbing pattern for 12 inches. Just like with the beanie, alternate between knitting 2 stitches and purling 2 stitches across the row.
- Bind Off: Once you’ve reached the desired length, bind off your stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the cowl. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this until all stitches are bound off.
- Finish the Cowl: Weave in all ends to ensure a polished look. Your cowl is now ready to keep you warm!
