Zauberball Crazy Cowl Knit Kit
Zauberball Crazy Cowl Knit Kit
Long colour changes and marled wool bring depth to a light lace cowl with neat picot edges. Knit a distinctive cold-weather accessory in your chosen Zauberball colourway; the colour repeats make each project individual.
Skill level and construction
Intermediate: know how to knit in the round, work yarn overs and knit-two-together decreases, and follow repeated rounds. Practise simple lace bands, shaping and folded picot hems.
Knit in the round from the wider lower edge towards a narrower top. Secure the first folded picot edge by knitting it into the work, or sew it down later as the pattern permits. Sew the top hem in place and weave in the ends.
Yarn and kit contents
- 1 × 100 g ball of Zauberball Crazy 4ply yarn in your selected colour: approximately 420 m, worked with one strand.
- One printed Zauberball Crazy Cowl pattern.
- “With Needles” adds a 3.75 mm, 60 cm bamboo circular needle. “Without Needles” does not include knitting needles.
The yarn is 75% wool and 25% nylon, with long marled colour repeats.
Needles, tension and size
Use a 3.75 mm circular needle, or the size needed for approximately 24 stitches per 10 cm. The source pattern does not specify row gauge or finished dimensions. The cowl is shaped and narrower at the top; check tension before starting rather than assuming a finished fit.
You also need one stitch marker and a tapestry needle, required separately.
Care and more projects
The yarn is machine washable; follow the ball-band settings, reshape and dry flat. Read our guide to knitting gauge before casting on.

Frequently asked questions
Is this cowl knitted flat or in the round?
In the round, with decreases that narrow the cowl towards its top edge.
What is a picot edge?
A folded hem with a small decorative pointed edge. The pattern lets you knit the lower fold into the work or sew it down afterwards; the top fold is sewn.
What does the needle option include?
“With Needles” includes a 3.75 mm, 60 cm bamboo circular needle. Both options include one 420 m yarn ball and a printed pattern.
What tension should I use?
Approximately 24 stitches per 10 cm, using 3.75 mm needles or the size needed to match. The yarn-label gauge is a different reference.
What are the finished dimensions?
The source pattern does not state finished measurements. It is a shaped cowl, wider at the bottom; tension affects the fit.
