Lang PTO45-10 Cowl Pattern Summary
What Is Being Made
The Lang PTO45-10 is a classic knitted cowl designed to be worn as a versatile neck accessory. This downloadable PDF pattern produces a finished cowl measuring approximately 13 inches wide by 23½ inches long (33 x 60 cm), making it an ideal layering piece for cooler weather. The cowl is constructed as a tube by knitting a flat rectangular panel and then seaming the cast-on and bind-off edges together to create a continuous loop.
Techniques Used
This cowl is created using seamed construction, meaning the piece is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round. The pattern requires working with two strands of yarn held together throughout the entire project, which creates a thicker, more substantial fabric. Knitters are instructed to pull yarn from both the center and outside of the ball simultaneously to maintain consistent tension. The finishing process involves weaving in ends and seaming the short edges of the rectangle together using a basic seaming technique, then blocking as desired for a polished final appearance.
Stitches Used
The cowl features a single, straightforward stitch pattern:
- Rib Stitch (K2:P2) — This classic ribbed texture is worked by alternating two knit stitches with two purl stitches across each row. The ribbed construction provides excellent elasticity and recovery, ensuring the cowl maintains its shape around the neck while allowing comfortable stretch during wear.
The gauge for this rib stitch pattern is 9 stitches and 9 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) when worked on US 15 (10mm) needles with the doubled yarn.
Materials
The pattern calls for LANGYARNS CLOUD yarn in the colorway rose 1077.0003. This yarn is composed of virgin wool (merino extrafine, superwash, and mulesing-free) blended with nylon for durability and easy care. One 100-gram ball provides sufficient yardage to complete the cowl. The pattern specifies ADDI knitting needles in size US 15 (10mm) for working the rib stitch at the correct gauge. The combination of superwash-treated merino and nylon creates a practical, washable garment suitable for regular wear.
