Bubble Cowl - Knitting Pattern

Knit the Cosy Bubble Cowl: A Textured, Two-Toned Knitting Pattern with Bobbles! 

This is a digital download knitting pattern, designed by Sarah Crawford.

There’s something truly magical about knitting, especially when it lets you create richly textured pieces! In this  Bubble Cowl pattern from Evie & Essie, you’ll explore beautiful textures with bobbles, slipped stitches, and contrasting colours that give life to a truly unique cold-weather accessory. 

Our love for bobbles knows no bounds, and this cowl pattern is designed to be easy to follow and a delight to knit! You can keep it simple with a single colour or add a vibrant pop by working the bobbles in a contrast colour (instructions provided for both styles). The two-colour technique uses slipped stitches, so you work only one yarn at a time—leaving delightful hints of the contrast colour nestled between each bobble. Plus, it’s easy to manage, with fewer ends to weave in and minimal twisting.

The finished cowl is lightweight yet snug, sitting comfortably under your chin to keep the cold at bay. It’s the perfect piece to slip on as you dash out the door, adding both warmth and style to any winter outfit.
