Twist And Shout cowl pattern

We all love a quick knit that can be whipped up in seemingly no time but which immediately becomes a wardrobe staple. We think our brand-new Twist And Shout cowl pattern is destined to become just such a much-loved knit. The pattern gets its name from being a cowl with a twist. The ‘shout’ part of its name is because it’s knitted in superchunky yarn that you just can’t ignore. 

Twist And Shout by Marcia Hamilton.

Twist And Shout was designed for knitshop.co.uk by our very own Marcia Hamilton in super chunky Merino Wool Yarn/Roving. This all-natural yarn comes in a choice of 10 shades and knits best on 12mm needles. For this pattern we recommend using 100cm circular needles. 

large enough to wear it over your head!

knitshop.co.uk’s Merino Wool Roving Yarn comes in 200g hanks – you’ll need two for this cowl. If you prefer, you can make a two-tone Twist And Shout cowl using contrasting colours of yarn. The pattern includes instructions for when to switch colours. We’ve used White Merino Wool Roving Yarn for our version, while the two-colour version shown in the pattern uses Merino Wool Roving Yarn in Sky Blue for the contrast colour. The yarn also comes in striking shades such as Hot Pink and Yellow.

The cowl can either be knitted with a half twist to make a Mobius cowl, or with a full twist. Once you’ve joined your round and started knitting, you’ll find this rib stitch project grows ever so quickly. That’s the beauty of superchunky knitting projects. Because Twist And Shout is knitted in the round, there’s no sewing up to be done either.

What’s more, we’ve also got a perfect pattern to knit as an accompaniment to this fab cowl pattern. Our Roving Wrist Warmers were also designed to be knitted in Merino Wool Roving Yarn. These easy-to-make mitts can be knitted in a single colour or in two contrasting shades. We kept them super-simple and used stocking stitch for the Roving Wrist Warmers, but you could easily knit them in rib to match your Twist And Shout cowl.
