Book Synopsis

Popular knitwear designer Safiyyah Talley shows you how to knit a cowlette and presents 23 unique patterns in a range of size- and gender-inclusive versions. She also shares a foolproof formula for cowlette design, so that you can create your own, no matter what your skill level is.

Whether you're looking for warmth on a winter day or an elegant and airy accent for a summer evening outfit, there's a cowlette for that! In Knitting Cowlettes, designer Safiyyah Talley celebrates the accessory that combines the beauty and drape of a shawl with the easy wearability of a cowl (no knotting or pinning required). Talley introduces knitters to the cowlette's unique construction--which begins with traditional shawl shaping before being joined in the round--as a gateway to her 23 unique patterns and showcases the cowlette's endless versatility with a wide range of sizes and styles. If you're a more adventurous knitter, Talley provides a foolproof template for creating your own gorgeous cowlettes, walking you through the entire decision-making process, from yarn choice and setup to sizing, shaping, and finishing.
