Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I’m an avid crocheter and knitting is new to me. I’ve been watching your knitting tutorials and have made this drop stitch cowl which I absolutely love! I’ve also made a few knitted beanies from your tutorials. You are a very good instructor. Your voice is so calm and your explanation is perfect for beginners like myself. Thanks to you I am now “Knitting” !!
Thank you so much for sharing this nice simple pattern. I'm going to make one for my grand daughter. I really like the look of this with the drop stitch.
IKNITS. you my friend are an excellent teacher. I have always wanted to knit and after I watched your cowl and cancun boxy sweater I went and bought the supplies... so here goes! ;)
Just found this video and love the look of the scarf, and I'm really looking forward to try this pattern, but just a bit confused on which finger the tail yarn is supposed to go when casting on. Also I'm using a medium bulk yarn and would like to know how many to cast on for adult and child. Will you please let me know. Thank you.
Of course i loved this!! I just finished making this and only it took me a few hrs :). U r the best and I'm always waiting for more knitting videos!!!!
My circular needles aren't marked, so I thought the pair I used were size 15, but I think they were actually 20 because my cowl turned out waaaay too big. More like an awkward scarf haha. But thank you so much for posting this! I saw this pattern last year, but could never figure out the yarn over so I gave up. Now I'm like a pro!
love your precise instructions and great camera closeups ... very considerate ... still hard to hear though .... you must be a real sweetheart!!! can you tell me anything about the multiples in this pattern, I would like to do it in worsted for a more delicate look. Do you know how I could adapt the pattern to #4 or #5 yarn?
BarbaraL Lowell thank you, you are so sweet and I will work on talking louder 😍. I really don't think the multiples matter since it's just knits, but because the pattern casts on an odd number, I would do that. Let me know how it turns out!
I love this pattern. It's such a quick knit, I've made several of them for friends already. How would I turn this cowl into an infinity scarf? I'm thinking just cast on maybe three times the original number of stitches and work on long circulars? Have you ever tried making this pattern longer? Thanks for your help!
The tutorial is great. I'm almost finished with mine however I'm doing the adult size and am using a smaller knitting needle and is left with only 3 of the drop stitch. Can I and should use another yarn? Thank you
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial! If it isn't too much of a hassle, do you mind sharing the name of the colors used for the cowls in the beginning of the video? I tried to figure it out myself by looking at the swatches online, so I know the red is tampa spice, but what about the yellow, blue, grey, tan and white?
This is beyond cool! thank you for your tutorial! I cant wait to make this and i hope it looks as yours, is it ok if i have 9 mm, 16″ circular needles? Can I use this tutorial on these needles?
Hi hunnie! So first you are an awesome teacher! I havent knitted in YEARS and NEVER on circulars, or even did a pattern other than K1 lol, and with your video I was able to do a round so seamlessly! =] I messed up a bit on a YO and decided to start over, but I binded off just to see if the 16 inch worked on my neck, it doesnt seem to have quite the awesome hang in the pictures. I cant find the 20 inch needles anywhere and theyre not sold in that size in the Chiao goo needles, do you think i should 24 inch, or should i be fine with the 16 inch to stay closer to the 20? Maybe Im being too nervous that the 16 inch would be too small on my neck lol
This video is AMAZING!! A Pinterest search led me to your PDF which I wasn't able to open on my phone. I'm thankful I searched on UA-cam and found the video tutorial which I actually prefer, as I am very new to knitting. 2 questions: do I have to use circular needles? Can this pattern be achieved on a loom? Thank you for your great tutorial and keep up the great work!! SUBSCRIBED!!🙌
I'm almost finishing the cocoon project :) and now I want this next, looks easy and fast :) quick question if I want to this for my baby, due date in one week ;) how many do you think I should cast ? Let's say for 3-6 months ? Also working with circular 17 US. Thank you :D
Thank you very much for the extremely informative and detailed tutorial! What if I used bulky yarn instead of super bulky? Do you think it would still look good? :)
***** it turned out great! However, I had a hard time dropping off some YOs (I was dropping stitches instead) and since the circular needles aren't so forgiving, I had to start the project from scratch! :D
I love this pattern so much! But I have an important question! Is it possible to knit this on straight needles and then sew the two ends together? I can't find size 15 -20" needles ANYWHERE :( But I do have size 15 straight needles. Would the pattern be the same if I knitted with straight needles? Please give me your insight :)
Hi Amanda. When we knit in the round we don't need any edge stitches (which will disappear in a seam). Therefore if you knit these on straight needles, just add an edge stitch on either side (two stitches). These will then go into the seam when sewing the ends together. Happy knitting. Good question!
+Samantha Sanders Yes, you can make this with straight needles and just seam it together. Cast On as instructed and work back and forth on your straight needles. Instead of the Purl row, you must knit every row until you come to your Yarn Over row. Then just work the pattern as instructed.Good luck and happy knitting!
I've made a few of the 'Easy Knit -Drop Stitch cowls .They are relatively easy to do and always come out nice. I do have a question - The area where one row ends and the next begins always looks a bit sloppy, the rows don't meet cleanly. Does this make sense? Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I know mine do the same thing. I haven't figured out a solution yet except to knit it flat and seam the ends together. So if you knit it flat you know when you're in the wrong side you will have to do the opposite. So knit when you're supposed to purl and vice versa. I'd love to see if anyone else has come up with a solution!
How much yarn did you use? I'm thinking of making this with a wool and the gang yarn but it says its 87 yards 80 meters. Will I have enough with one skein?
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing what you love to do! 😊 is it ok to use size15-29in circular needles? They're the ony ones i saw available at michaels.
Muy linda, para hacerla a mis 3 nietas. Claro que no hablo tu idioma, pero me las arreglaré . Alguna posibilidad que lo hagas en español? Gracias, saludos desde Chile
Do you have any idea how many extra stitches would be best to cast on to make an adult size on the size 13 needles? I don't own size 15, but I don't think 47 stitches on a size 13 needle will be wide enough.
Hey, I love your videos. I don't know how to knit, only crochet. I was wondering if you can do this pattern using crochet. I would really love to make this cowl. Thank you.
hey thank you! I don't know, I am more of a knitter so I wouldn't be good at making a crochet version of this. But that's the reason why i made this video, so it would be easier for you to understand the written pattern and be successful at making it! You should give it a try!
Just getting into knitting now and I came across this video. I desperately want to knit this but for some reason I cannot find the right needles here in Australia. I managed to get 10mm circular needles but the length of them is 80cms (like 31 inches) and there aren’t enough stitches to make it to the other needle when I cast on. What do I do? Can I cast on more stitches? If so, how many?
Hi I know this is an old video but I was hoping you could answer a question. The pattern calls for 20" circular needles but I was wondering would other lengths work also? The lengths I have are either longer or shorter than the 20" its calling for.
Rosanna Corona I don't but I will work on making one. All you really have to do is tie a knot and make sure that you have a long enough tail on both ends to weave. Or if your knot it really tight and isn't going to move, you can cut the ends very carefully
Nope. With a circular needle the needles are joined by a cord. You just slide the stitches from one needle along the cord to the other and start knitting!
Quick question- the knit round following the purl round where you drop the stitches always is really hard to knit - I feel like it's super twisted. Any suggestions?
+Nafsika Georgakopoulou Yes, you can make this with straight needles and just seam it together. Cast On as instructed and work back and forth on your straight needles. Instead of the Purl row, you must knit every row until you come to your Yarn Over row. Then just work the pattern as instructed.Good luck and happy knitting!
Hey Tina, sorry I didn't get your comment. Did you figure it out? You can make this with straight needles but you have to do the opposite on the wrong side. Like knit when it says purl and purl when it says knit. And then just seam it together when you're done!
OK, I just finished my cowl and I'm a bit bummed because it seems gigantic and droopy for me. :( I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease which is a 80% acrylic 20% wool blend vs the Hometown USA (100% acrylic blend) and I think that's part of my problem. The yarn I have used is so soft and it just doesn't look as 'structured' as yours and Abi's examples for lack of a better explanation. I may consider trying the child size as well to see if it's a better fit for moi. Regardless of my results, giant thanks for taking time to put up vids. I'm hardly a strong knitter and it's great to have a visual reference when I'm stuck. :)
Yes but when you're working on the wrong side, make sure you're doing the opposite it says, so if it says to knit, you purl, if it says to purl, you knit.
Kat Ritter I use short tail when I need to cast on in my project because you only use 1 strand. The long tail looks better and is more sturdy to start a project in my opinion. It uses two strands of yarn.
I see no one yet has answered, most likely because 1} They cannot translate from the Japanese (?); and 2} you would need someone who knows both knitting and crochet the make up the pattern for you. Or so I assume!
Absolutely love your tutorials! Just a quick question. Is there a specific multiple of stitches I should have? Say for instance if I wanted to make the cowl larger? Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I’m an avid crocheter and knitting is new to me. I’ve been watching your knitting tutorials and have made this drop stitch cowl which I absolutely love!

Love make this but wondering how many stitches l would need if l used dk wool or aaran size 4 or 5 needles x
Great video...how many balls of the yarn do you need to make the adult size cowl?
Thanks! 2 skeins :)
My circular needles aren't marked, so I thought the pair I used were size 15, but I think they were actually 20 because my cowl turned out waaaay too big. More like an awkward scarf haha.

Thank you for the video. I will do it so I want to know how many stitch l will do?.
This video is great, really clear to me even though I'm a beginner knitter
I was wondering if you can make one of those cable knit sweaters that you see in stores a lot
Awesome cowl! thanks!
This will be my next project .....the cowl is really cute the pattern seems to be very easy to follow...Hell that's what UA-cam is for....
Hi for this thick wool you need to have 47 stitches and for 4 ply wool how many stitches we need. Hope you will answer me. I am your new subscriber.
The pattern isnt free anymore on ravelry. Do you by any chance have a copy?
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial! If it isn't too much of a hassle, do you mind sharing the name of the colors used for the cowls in the beginning of the video? I tried to figure it out myself by looking at the swatches online, so I know the red is tampa spice, but what about the yellow, blue, grey, tan and white?
You are welcome! I am not sure, I didn't make those. If you go to her ravelry page, it should have the yarns listed. Sorry!
and how many rounds of the pattern do you maje for adult, as you made 3 of them for child size?
Do u think it would look nice if I use 70" circular needles??
Could you tell me what the conversion would be using just 4ply yarn i.e needle size, number of cast on stitches for adult size :)
I finished mine thank you.
This is such a pretty cowl! I only have size 17 needles... would I have to CO less than 47 stitches to get the same size? Thanks!
I mean you could, but honestly, I think it would look better a little bigger :)
super gorgeous!!!
This is beyond cool! thank you for your tutorial! I cant wait to make this and i hope it looks as yours, is it ok if i have 9 mm, 16″ circular needles? Can I use this tutorial on these needles?
Hello Curly yes ma'am! It should work just fine 😊 please show me how it turns out!
Hi hunnie! So first you are an awesome teacher!

Maybe Im being too nervous that the 16 inch would be too small on my neck lol
Hello Curly thank you, you are so sweet! I would do 16". That doesn't mean your cowl will be 16". That depends on how many you cast on. ☺
Ah! Youre so smart! Cast on controls length, I never thought of that lol! Should I cast on more? Maybe 57
Hello Curly sure if you'd like it wider
I have straight needles so should I cast on 46 or still do the 47 ?
This video is AMAZING!! A Pinterest search led me to your PDF which I wasn't able to open on my phone. I'm thankful I searched on UA-cam and found the video tutorial which I actually prefer, as I am very new to knitting.

My question how many stitchs forr adult?
I love your video, the cowl is very pretty. You cast on 37 stitches for the child size, how many should I cast on for an adult size?
Thank you, CO 47 for adult size.
@@iKNITS and how many roundsof the pattern do you maje for adult, as you made 3 of them for child size?
Thank you very much for the extremely informative and detailed tutorial! What if I used bulky yarn instead of super bulky? Do you think it would still look good? :)
You are welcome! Yes I think so. Just be aware that it'll fit a little snug. Let me know how it turns out!
***** it turned out great! However, I had a hard time dropping off some YOs (I was dropping stitches instead) and since the circular needles aren't so forgiving, I had to start the project from scratch! :D
Can you please tell me how to knit clow neck in sweater?
I'm really late to this party... hopefully you see this. Can this be knit flat? I don't have the right size circular needles. 🙁
I love this pattern so much! But I have an important question! Is it possible to knit this on straight needles and then sew the two ends together? I can't find size 15 -20" needles ANYWHERE :( But I do have size 15 straight needles. Would the pattern be the same if I knitted with straight needles? Please give me your insight :)

Therefore if you knit these on straight needles, just add an edge stitch on either side (two stitches). These will then go into the seam when sewing the ends together. Happy knitting. Good question!
pattern actually calls for US 15/24" circular needles is this a misprint?
How many bals of hometown usa did u use for the child size an the adult size since they dont have that much yardage
I used one for the child size but I bound off early. So I would buy 2 skeins
Since I'm using thinner tarn can i add more knit anD purl rows and end in purl with more yarn overs too. As long and I do the same pattern??
Yes that should work! Let me know how it turns out :)
***** it turned out good. But I messes up a few time so imma start over
okay good luck!
I'm about to start this pattern! is there anyway to do this with straight needles?
No
+Samantha Sanders Yes, you can make this with straight needles and just seam it together. Cast On as instructed and work back and forth on your straight needles. Instead of the Purl row, you must knit every row until you come to your Yarn Over row. Then just work the pattern as instructed.Good luck and happy knitting!

hi love your work.i did everything you say but my cowl came out small . i use bernat chunky supper bulky #6 and CO 37with a size13 needle ,HELP
Hey thank you :) That's the child size. You needed to CO 47 sts. and use size 15 needles for the adult size.
i know my baby girl is 19month its for her ,maybe am not do something right this is my first time using circle needle .
oh wow! hmm, that is crazy! I made mine for my 4 year old and it fits her perfectly, so I would imagine it wouldn't be small for a 19 month old! :(
How much yarn did you use? I'm thinking of making this with a wool and the gang yarn but it says its 87 yards 80 meters. Will I have enough with one skein?
I can only find a size 15 with a length of 29 needle. if I wanted to just modify the formula how can I do that!?
Do a video on the textured cowl pattern! Love this video BTW ;)
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing what you love to do! 😊 is it ok to use size15-29in circular needles? They're the ony ones i saw available at michaels.
Thank you! It might be too long and your stitches won't be able to stretch that far..I would do a 16 inch if they don't have a 20 inch.
I did with 10-29in, but i CO 57. It worked great for me.
Muy linda, para hacerla a mis 3 nietas. Claro que no hablo tu idioma, pero me las arreglaré . Alguna posibilidad que lo hagas en español? Gracias, saludos desde Chile
Do you have any idea how many extra stitches would be best to cast on to make an adult size on the size 13 needles? I don't own size 15, but I don't think 47 stitches on a size 13 needle will be wide enough.
I am not sure. Maybe 10 more?
Rosalie Lingo Sangat membantu.sehingga tak bosen saya mengikuti selangkah demi aelangkah.sampai saya tidak tidur.terima kasih banyak.
Someone else asked this question but I don't see a reply. For the adult size, how many yards of super bulky yarn is needed please?
Lee Uerkwitz 110 yards is what the written pattern says
is their a verison of this with worsted weight yarn?
No but you can hold the worsted weight double and make it
iKNITS a
Nice thank you from Germany.
Hey, I love your videos. I don't know how to knit, only crochet. I was wondering if you can do this pattern using crochet. I would really love to make this cowl. Thank you.
hey thank you! I don't know, I am more of a knitter so I wouldn't be good at making a crochet version of this. But that's the reason why i made this video, so it would be easier for you to understand the written pattern and be successful at making it! You should give it a try!
@iKNITS Thanks for replying back. I have another question, do I have to use the circular needles or can I use regular needles.?
yes the pattern calls for circular needles.You technically can make them with straight needles, but you would have to change the pattern.
***** okay, thank you 😊
you're welcome :)
I am making one for my trip to Korea! :)
Jealous!!! Show me how it turns out!
You're so lucky!!!
Thank you for this! Do you do rows 1-6 4 times in total? Or once, then repeat 4 times (making it 5 times in total)??
Can you make a blanket from the drop stitch
Yes! I think it would be really cute! Let me know if you make it.
+iKNITS thank you but not now I just learned how to crochet.Thank you for the reply
Just getting into knitting now and I came across this video. I desperately want to knit this but for some reason I cannot find the right needles here in Australia. I managed to get 10mm circular needles but the length of them is 80cms (like 31 inches) and there aren’t enough stitches to make it to the other needle when I cast on. What do I do? Can I cast on more stitches? If so, how many?
Hey Isabella! Darn! I'm sorry you can't find a cable needle that's shorter. I would use the magic loop method: ua-cam.com/video/YMe5bSDi_gU/v-deo.html
iKNITS brilliant thank you! Never would have thought to do that.
Isabella Santilli magic loop method saves me all the time!!!
Please video tutorial how to make hooded scarf with big needles...?
Thank so mush
I love all your videos. You have really helped me get into the swing of knitting.
Where did you purchase your 20" circular needles?
Hi I know this is an old video but I was hoping you could answer a question. The pattern calls for 20" circular needles but I was wondering would other lengths work also? The lengths I have are either longer or shorter than the 20" its calling for.
I would use the longer one so your stitches don't bunch up or twist.
I have ran out of yarn and only have 3 sections so far, I need two more. How do I add in more yarn?
Rosanna Corona I make a square knot and tie the two ends together
Okay, do you have a video on how to do that?
Rosanna Corona I don't but I will work on making one. All you really have to do is tie a knot and make sure that you have a long enough tail on both ends to weave. Or if your knot it really tight and isn't going to move, you can cut the ends very carefully
Hey, I got the 47 stiches on one side, but in the next step I see you have stitches on the other needle. Should I do 47 stitches on both needles?
Nope. With a circular needle the needles are joined by a cord. You just slide the stitches from one needle along the cord to the other and start knitting!
I love your videos thank you!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you like them! You're welcome :)
Okay so are you counting the cast on as a knit row ?
noo
Quick question- the knit round following the purl round where you drop the stitches always is really hard to knit - I feel like it's super twisted. Any suggestions?
Maybe you didn't drop all the stitches?? Or maybe you're keeping a yo, when you drop the real knit?
How long the tail should be? Thanks
It's a long tail cast on.
por favor una version en español me gusta mucho el tutorial 😉
How can I made it with straight needles?❤️ I love you (I'm from Greece and I'm 13 years old)
+Nafsika Georgakopoulou Yes, you can make this with straight needles and just seam it together. Cast On as instructed and work back and forth on your straight needles. Instead of the Purl row, you must knit every row until you come to your Yarn Over row. Then just work the pattern as instructed.Good luck and happy knitting!
im confused which side is considered the wrong side? in the pattern it says the set up round is purl is that the front or back?
im working with straight needles
You have to use a circular needle for this project. You cannot use straight needles.
Hey Tina, sorry I didn't get your comment. Did you figure it out? You can make this with straight needles but you have to do the opposite on the wrong side. Like knit when it says purl and purl when it says knit. And then just seam it together when you're done!
Ohok ***** thank you soon much can't wait to do this!
OK, I just finished my cowl and I'm a bit bummed because it seems gigantic and droopy for me. :( I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease which is a 80% acrylic 20% wool blend vs the Hometown USA (100% acrylic blend) and I think that's part of my problem. The yarn I have used is so soft and it just doesn't look as 'structured' as yours and Abi's examples for lack of a better explanation.

I'm hardly a strong knitter and it's great to have a visual reference when I'm stuck. :)
+ebunz z try it with a bulkier yarn bc some of the wool ease yarn looks thick until you start using it.
9
Is that 15 mm needle 😀
Can I do it on straight needles?
Yes but when you're working on the wrong side, make sure you're doing the opposite it says, so if it says to knit, you purl, if it says to purl, you knit.
+iKNITS please make a tutorial on this with straight needles?
why do you do a long tail cast on? is there a specific reason?
Kat Ritter that’s just how I was taught. Is there a better way you know of?
No I mean why do people do a long tail... i have seen long tail and short tail.. so I guess my question is why and what is the difference?!?!?
Kat Ritter I use short tail when I need to cast on in my project because you only use 1 strand. The long tail looks better and is more sturdy to start a project in my opinion. It uses two strands of yarn.
thank you for explaining.. i am just getting into knitting Crochet is my thing!
かぎ編みでも作れますか？
I see no one yet has answered, most likely because 1} They cannot translate from the Japanese (?); and 2} you would need someone who knows both knitting and crochet the make up the pattern for you. Or so I assume!
I'm not sure if you can make it in crochet. I do not have the pattern, but you should try it in knitting! It's super easy and fun :)
Excited to do this! But dropping stitches gives me anxiety! Lol
lol it does the SAME thing to me too! In the video I'm like, eeeee! hahha
Haha! I may need a Rx for anxiety meds before starting this project.lol
lol :)
I can't find US 15-20'' needles, only 15-29''. should I just get a 15-16'' instead?
Thanks.
I would do the 16". Better shorter than too long.
Thanks so much! And thanks for the prompt response too!
You're welcome! Let me know how it goes!
I'm having the same problem. If I use 16" needles, should I cast on fewer stitches?
No, it'll work fine with 16" just a little scrunched together :)
Can I do the adult size with a 10mm 16"
karla3827 sure!
So the cast on row is considered a knit round?
Nice pattern, but not free anymore on Ravelry. Should change the above text.
Sorry silly question. Do I put 47 stiches on each needle?
no u put them on one needle and push them toward the other needle and work in a circle
Absolutely love your tutorials! Just a quick question. Is there a specific multiple of stitches I should have? Say for instance if I wanted to make the cowl larger? Thank you so much!!
Thanks! I don't think there is. Maybe a multiple of 3.
