I don’t know about you, but I am in love with chunky knits. They add so much style to any outfit , and work up quickly at the same time. The perfect combination of fashion and convenience, right?! The chunky knit cowl pattern that I’m sharing with you today a great starting point if you are new to cable knitting too.
The design uses a simple six stitch cable on a background of reverse stockinette stitch – I promise that it doesn’t get much easier than this when it comes to knitting cables. Plus the pattern calls for a bulky weight yarn, which is much easier to handle when learning a new knitting skill like cable knitting.

Choosing Yarn for your Knit Cowl
I used Knit Picks Mighty Stitch Bulky Yarn in Pomegranate to make this cowl. First of all, I cannot get over the colour! Its the perfect shade of red that I was looking for… it reminds me of a glass of wine! And once knit up, the scarf feels like luxury against your skin! It is so incredibly soft and cozy, you will not want to take it off.
If you can’t purchase this specific yarn, I suggest using any soft chunky or bulky weight yarn that is slightly thicker then your typical worsted weight yarn. Just make sure to make a little gauge swatch before you begin your cowl to make sure that it works up to the same measurements!
