Kit Cowl - Mocky
The MOCKY cowl by Brooknit Bonneterie is an ideal quick project that will entertain and satisfy the knitters looking for an elevated look yet quite simple execution.
The pattern is written with instructions for both flat and in-the-round knitting, and access to quick videos to support your learnings, or refresh your skills.
The design is a stylish version of ribs, making variations in using the MOCK CABLE Stitch.
It is pretty, elegant, and versatile.
You can use it long and extended, or folded at the height you desire.
Turn it into a large headband if you like!
The pattern and sizing is designed based on the Brooknit Bonneterie's yarn (100% Merino superwash, worsted weight). Needles US size 8 / 5mm.
Instructions are made of written patterns and QR codes to access supporting, on point, videos, to learn or refresh your memories.

Inside the Kit
- 1/2 cake of yarn, 2oz. Made just right by our own hands so you have the right amount for knitting in one piece, and no need to join balls of yarn!
- Explanations and pattern documents: all the instructions to follow step by step, and QR codes to access video-tutorials for specific moves.
- 1 tapestry needle. The small essential to finish the cocoon by weaving the ends.
- 1 marker row counter. So helpful to track your progress.
- 1 cloth label to be sewn.
- 1 no-iron fabric label to add the name (ideal to put on the back of the cloth label)
- 1 little card for a keepsake or if you knit and gift!
All items are stored in cotton drawstring bags. The larger one, containing the yarn, can also be used as a wash bag to protect the item in the washing machine.
Care
Good news: the Super Wash 100% Merino is machine washable! Pick the delicate or wool program, use a wool detergent, cold temperature.
Just lay flat to dry (preferably on a towel) and VOILA!
Gravity on wet wool is not a friend here and will cause distortions in the garment.
For small stains, you can gently use a little bit of soap and water.
And remember, Merino wool is a natural fiber and you don't need to wash often. Unpleasant odors can naturally fly away by simply airing out the garment for a couple of hours (weather permitting obviously!).
