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.

Over the years I have shared a lot of pumpkin knitting patterns, and I’ve knit and crocheted a lot of pumpkins myself. But it feels like there are always more fun things to try with knit pumpkins, so this year I wanted to look a little more beyond basic stockinette or ribbed pumpkins and share some pumpkin patterns with cables, bobbles and colorwork.

In the cable collection we’ve got these cute little basic cable and ribbed pumpkins from Elly Bear Knits. There are two sizes that make a wide, flat pumpkin and a taller round pumpkin. Both are worked in the round as a tube that’s cinched top and bottom when you’re done, and they use bulky weight yarn.

Another cute cable pumpkin knitting pattern comes from Gray Bear Akswokrat. This one is knit flat and it looks like a chunky yarn but you could use other weights to make pumpkins of different sizes. This one also has an I-cord stem and uses yarn to cinch up the sections of the pumpkin, giving it a more natural look.

Add some bobbles to your pumpkins with this design from Autumn Shelter Makes. Also worked in the round in a tube, it features a repeating pattern of bobbles and uses yarn wrapped around the outside to make segments. This one looks like worsted weight yarn to me.

Of course there’s nothing that says your pumpkin has to be a single color, so let’s throw in some colorwork. I love the look of the Cozy Fall Pumpkin knitting pattern from South Stitch Girls. The little leather loop adds a rustic touch but you could also just add a stick. These pumpkins have five colorwork options and are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round.

There’s also the Autumn Fair Isle Trio pumpkins pattern from Equestriann Style, which has three different sizes of pumpkins with four colorwork designs. They are worked in super bulky yarn in the round and look good with high contrast or more muted color combinations.
