My First Cowl: Aireado Ridged Cowl

---

|Sponsored| Before you get started on a beginner knitting project, know this: knitting is nothing more than four things. These are casting-on, or starting; binding off, or finishing; knitting, and purling. Everything else is just nuance and fancy details.

Maybe someone taught you how to knit eons ago, and you’ve mostly forgotten. Or maybe you’ve just seen people knit and thought “that looks cool.” Either way, with the partnership of Plymouth Yarn  and Clover we created a short video that teaches you how to combine those four basic steps and whip up a cozy cowl in almost no time. (Seriously, I knit three of these in under two weeks.)

If you’ve never knit before, or just need a refresher, we link to quick tutorials for each step. The project video ALSO shows you how to read a pattern, knit in the round, and weave in yarn ends so everything looks great when you’re done.

The project is simple enough to be totally relaxing in these stressful times, and pretty forgiving if you happen to make a mistake (because even the best knitters do.) And we’ve even got deeper coverage of this lovely yarn in one of our Sneak Peeks.

So kick back, cast on, and have a good time creating your first project…a fuzzy, snuggly knitted cowl.
