The Urban Cowl is one of ultimate favorite items to wear. It not only looks good with almost every piece of clothing, but it can also be knit in one afternoon. I wanted to make another one on Saturday and I wanted to use my All-n-One loom. So I sat down and realized that I could use 2 pegs as one to create a “bigger” stitch for my Malabrigo Rasta yarn.
The picture shown uses almost 2 skeins of Malabrigo Rasta, it goes around the neck twice. If you prefer, you can use 1 skein for a one loop cowl.
Warm, fast and easy were priority for this knit. I needed something that would look chunky and fashionable, something I could wear with my jeans, something that screamed urban style.

Welcome :). The video is processing…according to YouTube 5 more minutes. 🙂
Thank you Isela! You are so awesome!
Thanks Isela. Love the colors on this one. Great video. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving All!!!!!
I would love to make something in between the urban cowl and summer elegance. I want to use thin yarn (something like a fake fur or eyelash type) with lots of space between the stitches. I have something I bought that is like the urban cowl but is 18′ wide so it is very stretchy and can be shaped different ways. Can you suggest a pattern that I could adjust. The one I have is is knitted like a scarf with the end on one sewn to the side of the end of the other. Would love suggestions!
I don’t want it to be warm, just to dress up a plain top. Thanks for any help!
Thank you so much. Great looking cowl!
Cheers
Thanks for showing this. I never thought of using two pegs for one stitch…what a wonderful idea.
Love the yarn you used…the texture of your finished product…the way you can see every stitch so well when t is done this way!
Thank you again.
I love this. It is very simple. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful video, very well explained. Thank you for simplifying this for me.Can’t wait to get started.
