Product Description
In late August I was able to travel to Vermont, the state of my birth for the first time in my adult life. I had visited as a very young child but remember nothing of it save a wide open, Kelley green field and running through it barefoot.
You could say that Vermont resembles Maine in its landscape, but is more condensed. The valleys and mountains are steeper and more frequent, climbing dangerously into the wild air. Broken down barns call with their rustic beauty, and the air cleanses you. The fields are open and full of flowers and tallgrass. The peace at night settles deep into you, herbs and teas greet you early morning as the sun breaks over the treeline.
This cowl was my Vermont project, a reconnection to roots. Each stitch was knitted with gratitude and thankfulness at a chance to reconnect with long-lost family in this wonderful place.

Wolcott Cowl by Alicia Plummer
Project Overview
Wolcott is an intermediate-level knitted cowl designed by independent designer Alicia Plummer. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished cowl measuring 24 inches in circumference and 13 inches in height when lightly blocked. The design is crafted using chunky-weight yarn, making it an accessible project for knitters with some experience who want to create a substantial, textured neck accessory.
Yarn and Materials
This cowl pattern calls for 330 yards of Cascade Eco Wool, a 100% Peruvian highland wool available in 250-gram skeins with approximately 478 yards total. The yarn weight is chunky, which contributes to the project's relatively quick knitting timeline and dramatic drape. Additional materials needed include a US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needle for ribbing and a US 10.5 mm circular needle for the main body, a place marker for tracking pattern repeats, and a darning needle for weaving in ends.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Wolcott cowl employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The pattern utilizes stockinette stitch as the primary stitch pattern, worked on the larger needles. Ribbing, typically created with the smaller needle size, provides structure and elasticity at the edges. The pattern incorporates slipped stitches, worked purlwise unless otherwise specified in the instructions, which create subtle texture and help define stitch definition in the finished fabric.
Gauge and Sizing
Achieving the correct gauge is essential for this project. The pattern specifies 14 stitches and 16 rows over 4 inches in stockinette stitch on the larger needles. Working a gauge swatch before beginning ensures your finished cowl will meet the intended dimensions of 24 inches circumference and 13 inches height.
Pattern Notes
- Light blocking is recommended to achieve the finished dimensions
- All slipped stitches are worked purlwise as the default unless the pattern notes otherwise
- A place marker is essential for tracking pattern repeats throughout the knitting
- The pattern includes designer notes and inspiration related to the cowl's creation
