Product Description
Winter Showers brings Snow Showers cowl and Winter Chic snood together in one pattern. Sized for humans, the Snow Showers cover is modeled by our “Great Dane in Charge of Spreading Joy,” Puddles. Like snowflakes that intwine and swirl as they fall from the sky, with enough yarn in hand, the version won’t land on your stitches until Rnd 51.
The tech edited and test knit pattern is fully written and charted with 3 photo tutorials.
*Gauge:*18 sts and 24 rows over 4”/ 10cm in double knitting Stockinette stitch. Note: exact gauge is not critical to this design. Gauge variations may impact final size and yardage requirements.
Winter Showers Knit Pattern by KnitEcoChic
Project Overview
Winter Showers is a downloadable knitting pattern that combines two complementary headwear designs in a single collection: the Snow Showers cowl and the Winter Chic snood. Both pieces are sized for adult wear and showcase elegant stitch patterns inspired by falling snowflakes. This intermediate-level pattern offers versatility for knitters seeking to create coordinated winter accessories using DK-weight yarn.
Snow Showers Cowl
The Snow Showers cowl features an intricate stitch pattern that develops gradually over the course of knitting. The pattern does not reveal its full snowflake-inspired design until Round 51, creating a rewarding knitting experience as the motif emerges from the stitches. The finished cowl measures 25 inches in circumference by 9.5 inches in height, making it a substantial neck covering suitable for layering in cold weather.
Optional I-Cord Trim: The Snow Showers cowl includes an optional bottom I-cord edging that adds a refined finish. Knitters may alternatively substitute roving or chunky yarn of equivalent length if preferred, allowing for creative customization of the final garment.
Winter Chic Snood
The Winter Chic snood is a coordinating piece designed to pair with the Snow Showers cowl. It measures 25 inches in circumference by 18 inches in length, creating a generous loop suitable for wearing as a traditional snood or styled multiple ways around the neck and shoulders.
I-Cord Ties: The Winter Chic snood features two I-cord ties—a top tie and a bottom tie—that provide both functional closure and decorative detail. Each I-cord is knitted to a length of 36 inches for the top tie and 25 inches for the bottom tie using US 5 (3.75mm) needles in the chosen color.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This pattern employs several core knitting techniques appropriate for intermediate-level crafters:
- I-Cord Construction: The pattern includes detailed instructions for creating I-cords, a tubular knitted cord made from a small number of stitches (3 stitches in this pattern). I-cords are cast on, knitted in the round using the knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-knit-
