Knit seamlessly in the round, this is the perfect project to show off handpainted, handspun and extra-special yarns.

Soliton Cowl by Laura Chau
What Is Being Made
The Soliton Cowl is a cozy, oversized cowl designed by Laura Chau. This knitted accessory measures 32 inches (80 centimeters) in circumference and 11 inches (28 centimeters) in depth, making it a substantial neck wrap perfect for layering on chilly days. The cowl is constructed seamlessly in the round, creating a continuous tube of fabric without seams.
Knitting Techniques
This project uses seamless in-the-round knitting construction, which eliminates the need for seaming and creates a smooth, professional finish. The design features a reversible stitch pattern, meaning both sides of the fabric are equally attractive and functional. The pattern is versatile and allows knitters to adjust the size by working with different stitch counts, offering customization options for various preferences and yarn quantities.
Stitches Used
The Soliton Cowl features the Double Garter Stitch pattern as its primary stitch. This reversible stitch pattern creates visual interest and texture while remaining accessible to intermediate-level knitters. The Double Garter Stitch works with any number of stitches, providing flexibility in sizing and allowing crafters to experiment with different dimensions.
Materials and Yarn
This pattern calls for worsted or aran weight yarn, requiring approximately 300 yards (274 meters) of yarn to complete the cowl. The designer recommends this project as an excellent showcase for special yarns, including handpainted and handspun varieties. The pattern was originally worked in Malabrigo merino yarn, which the designer notes for its softness and luxurious quality.
