Bubblegum Cowl by Hannah Thiessen
What Is Being Made
The Bubblegum Cowl is a fresh, sweet winter cowl designed by Hannah Thiessen. This knitted neck accessory is versatile enough to wear casually with t-shirts for a hipster aesthetic or layered under a coat for extra warmth and comfort. The cowl is described as easy and quick to knit, making it an appealing project for knitters who want to complete a stylish accessory in a reasonable timeframe.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting project classified at an intermediate difficulty level. The pattern features bobble stitches as a decorative element, which adds visual interest and texture to the finished cowl. Hannah Thiessen recommends using the pull-over method for creating bobbles in this design. This technique involves knitting into a single stitch multiple times—once in the front of the stitch, once in the back, once in the front again, and one more time in the back—before pulling the first knitted stitch over the subsequent stitches to create the characteristic bobble texture.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch structure is stockinette stitch, which forms the base fabric of the cowl. The pattern incorporates bobble stitches as decorative embellishments throughout the design, adding dimension and visual appeal to the finished piece.
