"Sorry, I don't know of a video for that stitch pattern. I did make this project about 10 or so years ago and I remember that it did not really look like the picture until it was completed, while it was on the needles it looked like it wasn't lining up. Is it possible that is what is happening with you?"

"Hi, I can't find the knitting pattern for this book, can I have it please?"

"With the page open, right click on your mouse, this will open a new window, in the new window scroll down to and click on print. That will take you to print review, in print preview change "all" to just the pages that the pattern is on and click print. Using the cut and copy feature to paste the document into another program for printing is actually a violation of international copyright laws, but printing directly from the page is permitted. Hope this helps someone. Happy knitting!"

"This is not a free pattern, so not sure why it is still featured on an "all free knitting" website."

"Whomever labelled this a beginner pattern was having a laugh, beginner means basic knitting skills, it takes more than basic skills to complete this pattern."

Bundle up during a cold winter day with this easy DIY cowl project. The thick texture of this cowl makes it a great DIY winter accessory, and it is perfect for layering.

From the Blogger: "This simply huge cowl has been named after the giant Gymir, who in Norse mythology was the giant whose daughter, Gerðr, ultimately married the god Freyr. This easy giant cowl project is the third part in a series about extreme knitting, including posts on how to make yourself huge broom stick knitting needles and also how I prepared my roving to be able to knit with it. The knitting needles used are size 28 mm."

I was curious to see what yarn the designer used for this cowl. Turns out she used roving that she had herself prepared into yarn. I don't have that or any jumbo yarn but I think since you use size 50 needles I could substitute two strands of T-shirt yarn, or maybe recycled sari yarn, or even homemade fabric yarn held together.

Not gonna lie, I definitely clicked on this for the Norse mythology reference. I regret nothing. This pattern looks so easy and it incorporates my faves about knitting-- big yarn and big needles. The fact that the blogger knit it in my fave color as well is just a great plus. Thanks!

This is so easy. You just need the big size needles. A rib pattern always seems to work well with the jumbo yarn and big needles. I think it adds that extra texture. Cowls always come in handy. They add a bit of warmth and also that extra bit of detail to an outfit. Thank you.
