Loft cowl knitting pattern - digital or hard copy

A simple and snuggly cowl knitted in the round in either 4ply or DK yarn. Each yarn weight comes in three sizes so you can knit your preferred cowl circumference and depth.

Don’t be put off by all the colour changes. There’s a simple technique for adding and removing the colours which means you only need to sew in four ends!

Not a fan of jogging stripes? There’s a technique to cover that too. Loft Cowl is definitely a “just one more row” pattern that will become a winter wardrobe staple.

Pattern Pricing

I operate a ‘pay what you can’ scale for my electronic/downloadable single patterns.  I usually charge £5 for these patterns and to encourage access for all crafters, these are now available on a scale of £3 - £7 and you chose what you can afford within that scale. 

Please note that this doesn’t apply to my hard copy patterns, which remain priced at £5 and come with an automatic digital download.

Pattern format

Loft Cowl is a eight-page document.  If you are purchasing a printed copy, it is A4 sized with large, clear text.

Weights given are approximated to provide the best estimate for postage and packaging costs only.

Product materials, sourcing and PoM Rating

This product was originated by me at Fay Dashper-Hughes Designs.  This pattern is printed by me on paper that is manufactured in the UK, using wind power and 100% recycled post-consumer fibre.

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent.  No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage.  I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods.  I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
