Loom Knit the Purl in 8 Oversized Cowl

I am officially obsessed with this oversized cowl and the Purl in 8 stitch by Stephanie May aka Loomatic Fridge. I think it looks great in every color and on everybody. If you know me, you know I love unisex projects. That makes gift giving a breeze.

I do believe the yarn is key to accomplishing the look. My husband picked this particular yarn and I believe it was the best choice. A combination of wool and acrylic makes it the best of luxury and economics. By the way, It’s chunky and soft, two qualities you want from winter wear.

As for the pattern, it is not difficult. In fact, once I got going, I found it very therapeutic. I was even able to catch up on some of my favorite YouTube creators while I finished the project.

Like most of my designs, this one has a step by step video tutorial. There is a written pattern that you can buy on Etsy. There is a link below. But I believe the video is easy enough that you can complete the oversized cowl by just watching me knit the project. If you do buy the pattern, thank YOU so much. I greatly appreciate the support.

The Purl in 8 Oversized Cowl Video

As always I remind you that is is best to watch the video completely before starting the project. Note that if you want to make it into a scarf – just don’t connect the ends.
