Copycat Cowl Free Knitting Pattern by Verna Glass
Looking for an easy cowl knitting pattern with beautiful texture and a relaxed, cozy fit? The Copycat Cowl by Verna Glass is a lovely free knitting pattern worked in the round with simple knit and purl stitches and gentle increases that create a softly draped shape.
This cozy neck warmer is a practical cold-weather project and a good choice for knitters who enjoy straightforward circular knitting without complicated stitch patterns.

Why We Like the Copycat Cowl
The Copycat Cowl combines simple knitting with a polished finished look. Bands of knit and purl texture create subtle horizontal detail, while gentle increases toward the lower portion help the fabric sit comfortably around the neck and shoulders.
Because it uses worsted-weight yarn and uncomplicated stitches, it can be a satisfying project when you want to knit a useful cold-weather accessory without committing to a large garment.
Yarn and Needle Notes
The original pattern calls for approximately 219 yards (200 m) of worsted-weight yarn. For a cowl worn directly around the neck, consider choosing a soft yarn with comfortable drape.
The pattern lists US 8 (5 mm) and US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.
Before You Start
The designer includes a useful note for the Chinese Waitress Cast On: the slip knot is not counted as a stitch and is dropped before joining the work in the round.
The pattern page also notes that knitters should use the updated Version 2 of the pattern.
