Chunky Cowl Knit With Straight Needles
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Free & easy chunky cowl knit with straight needles. It’s knit flat, using 2 straight needles with super bulky yarn, so it knits up quick too!
I chose this stitch for this cowl for so many reasons:
- It’ has lovely drape.
- It doesn’t curl.
- It’s nice and relaxed.
- I love the texture.
- It’s easy to memorize!
;) What’s not to love?!
