Gray Street

$5.00

A squishy, cozy cowl, perfect for gift making (or for yourself!), Gray Street is knit in the round with bulky-weight yarn (in multi-colors to create a gradient effect) and features a simple, textured twisted rib stitch pattern with options for a short-style or long, infinity-style.

The long version uses 3 colors and the short version uses 2 colors (although you can use more if you prefer). My original Gray Street cowl used shades of neutrals/gray (hence the name!) But your own Gray Street can be “Green Street”, “Blue Street”, “Orange Street” – any color combo you want!

Pattern is full of visual tutorials and includes a tips page, so it’s perfect for more beginner knitters looking to expand their skills beyond the basic knit and purl stitches. Or if you’re a more advanced knitter, you’ll enjoy this as a relaxing project to work on while watching TV or chatting in your knitting group.

This is the PDF version of the pattern. After going through the checkout you will receive an email with a downloadable PDF link. If you prefer to purchase through Ravelry, click here.
