Cowls and capes are everywhere this winter and this stunner from Gedifra is just gorgeous. Our free knitting pattern is knit sideways to create a stunning rib design, with huge cable detail and a soft roll neck.

Our model is wearing the cowl neck warmer in a striking mauve colour which would certainly brighten up a dull day, and would look great with black or grey outfits.

Our free knitting pattern is knitted in Gedifra Riana Big, a bulky yarn which uses 10mm to 12mm needles. This wardrobe essential will be finished in no time, leaving you plenty of time to treat yourself to another pattern from our Winter Warmers selection this month.

The cowl is a versatile accessory to own too – wear it over a jumper for a layered look, or treat it like a scarf. We’ve even seen these worn over a denim jacket for a casual but stylish look.
