Coffee Bean Cowl Knitting Pattern

Sometimes I don`t feel like following a pattern with schemes. I want to knit simple but nice looking ones which is easy to remember so I don`t have to check each stitch with the scheme. This pattern is just like that. I really enjoy knitting it. It looks like cable stitch but you don`t need a cable needle.  You can knit it, even if you are beginner.


The gauge is not very important with this pattern. The first and last 6 stitches will be knit on both right and wrong side. The pattern is made with multiple of 4+1 stitches. Depending on your yarn and needle you can cast on more or less. 
I used 4.00 mm needle while knitting my cowl.

 k : knit
p : purl
yo : yarn over
k2tog : knit 2 stitches together

 Cast on 49 stitches. 
Work in garter stitches for 5 ridges(10 rows). 
  1. (Right Side) k6, p1, (pass the third stitch on your left needle over the first two stitches, knit 1, yo, k1, p1)* , repeat * until you have 6 stitches left, k6
  2. (Wrong side) k7, (p3, k1)*, repeat * until you have 6 stitches, k6
  3. (Right Side ) k6, p1, (k3,p1)* , repeat * until you have 6 stitches, k6
  4. (Wrong Side)k7, (p3, k1)*, repeat * until you have 6 stitches, k6
Repeat these 4 rows until your piece measures 19`. If you want it longer, you can continue the pattern until desired length.

After the 2nd row of the pattern start working in garter stitches. On the 5th row of garter stitch we will make button holes. 

 k6, yo, k2tog, (k7, yo, k2tog)* , repeat * to the end, k5

 Work in garter stitch for 4 rows and cast off.

 Enjoy knitting!

    Hi! I love this pattern, how many skeins of DK yarn do you need?

    It depends how long/wide you want to make your cowl or scarf.
    For the one I made, 1 skein(100gr) is enough. I think I had some leftover too.

    Thanks for the prompt reply! I think I'll make it the same size as yours, I have plenty of DK to use. I added you as a friend on Ravelry (I'm YasmineCherfi with the bowl of sweets picture) I'll be sure to share post some pics of the finished item; I've got plenty of exams this week so I can break up my revision with some knitting!

    Thanks again,

    xoxo Yasmine

    My sister is very picky and I thought it would take days to find the right type of cowl for her but she chose this pattern. She really loved the brown one with two buttons on ravelry. I'm getting started now and add the finished cowl (or cowls probably since I'm thinking of making one for myself also) on ravelry once I'm finished. :)

Lienemien - Sleeping Dolls Pattern

When I added sleeping dolls photo to my  facebook page  and shared it, I was so surprised and happy to get a lot of interest in them.. It has been one of my favorite patterns. It is easy and quick to make. I also dont like sewing arms, legs and head in amigurumi and this pattern is just my type, it is made in one piece. Thank you very much to  Sil`s corner  for this lovely, cute dolls.  Many people asked for the pattern, I shared the original link from  Sil`s corner  but unfortunately the  pattern is not in English. For myself I used google translator to make it, but here is the English version of it. You will need; - two colors of yarn and a tan color. You can choose any yarn of your stash. Depending in the yarn and hook you use, your doll size might be smaller or bigger.
