Free Knitting Pattern – Basketweave Cowl/Collar

The Basketweave Collar knit pattern can also be referred to as a cowl pattern. A cowl is a type of neckwear that is similar to a scarf, but it is shorter and often worn closer to the neck. Cowls can be worn in a variety of ways and are a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

The Basketweave Collar pattern is a great way to add a touch of texture and warmth to your outfit. The basketweave pattern creates a stunning visual effect that is both stylish and cozy. The pattern uses Mary Maxim Titan Bulky Weight yarn, which is a warm and soft yarn that is perfect for creating cozy neckwear. This yarn is made from a blend of acrylic and wool, making it warm, yet easy to care for.

This pattern is suitable for knitters of all levels and is free to download on the Mary Maxim website. The finished product will be a stylish and functional accessory that can be worn in many ways. It can be worn as a cowl, or if you prefer, as a collar. It is a perfect project for a weekend or a relaxing evening in front of the TV.

The basketweave knitting stitch is a textured pattern that creates a woven, basket-like design. It is created by alternating blocks of knit and purl stitches to create a raised and lowered texture. Typically, the pattern is worked over a multiple of 8 stitches plus 2, with each row being worked the same way.

One of my favorite things to make on a circular knitting machine is scarves, because they’re a great way to use leftover yarn and certainly faster than knitting by hand.

But if you pay attention to the colors you’re using and how you are using them, you can make fun knitting machine scarves that look like something different when you roll them up.

One of the first versions of this I saw was the sushi scarf, are there are a lot of variations on this one. For example this one from Flower and Anchor that uses five colors of yarn, or this one from Three Threads NE that uses four. These generally are made to look like California rolls, but you could change up the colors to make them different things if you like. Just make sure the outside of the “roll” is black or green to indicate the nori. I found another version on Pinterest if you’re looking for a free pattern, but there’s no image of it rolled up.

Another popular variation is making a scarf that rolls up to look like a mug with coffee, tea or another fun beverage inside. This collection of three mug scarf circular knitting machine patterns from Idaho Cottage Creation includes green tea, a pumpkin spice latte with whipped cream and a candy cane colored confection (which honestly reminds me of the Grinch since it has a green mug!). Again you can change the colors of the mug part and the drink part. The little handle looks like it’s crocheted on these, and it doubles as a loop you can thread the scarf end through when you wear it.

Again there’s a version of the green tea scarf on Pinterest with crocheted elements. I also found a latte done with a striped yarn and a red mug that’s pretty cute and gives you an idea what a different beverage would look like.

I also love this pumpkin pie scarf designed by Jodi Favish Saunier. It has a bit of crocheted edging to give it a fancy crust but you can omit that if you don’t crochet. These are all on Facebook but she also has a watermelon and lemonade pattern that are super cute.
