CLICK HERE for Drop Stitch Knit Cowl Free Pattern

Drop Stitch Cowl by Cathy Payson is just one of the many wonderful free patterns over at RedHeart.com. This cowl is part of their ‘Learn a Stitch, Make a Cowl’ series and I just LOVE IT!

This is my first knit video in my new partnership with Red Heart and I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed working on the step-outs for this video. Honestly, I’ve been wearing the sample for a couple weeks and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it!

Now, you too can make this fun and fast cowl. With the free crochet pattern and the free video tutorial taught by me, Marly Bird you will have nothing but success.

DROP STITCH KNIT COWL

Make this amazing cowl with the knitted drop stitch rows that allow it to drape and make it comfy to wear! Drop stitches are created by adding yarn overs on one row and dropping those same YO’s on the next row. Choose from the great colors in this fashion yarn for the free pattern.

YouTube Video Notes:

In this video you will learn how to increase stitches with a yarn over on one row then drop the yarn overs off the needle on the next row. This is what creates the long stitches.

You also get a tip on how to count the garter rows to know what row you are on as you work along.
