The Funnel Cowl is a perennial favorite at Loop, and a knit you'll wear all winter. With its gently slouchy, funnel-shaped silhouette, it keeps cold air off your neck while sitting comfortably along the collarbone, blocking drafts at the top of your coat. It slips easily over your head and fits just right — not snug, not loose — making it an easy, everyday layer.
This design truly shines when knit in Woolfolk Far. How soft is Far? Soft enough that most people assume it’s cashmere — but it’s actually Woolfolk’s Ultimate Merino.
Far is spun from merino developed in partnership with Patagonian ranchers committed to preserving native grasslands. It’s crafted using a special chainette construction that creates a light, airy yarn. The structure traps warmth without adding bulk, so you get insulation without heaviness.
It’s the kind of yarn you’ll happily wear right against your skin.
To make the most of Far’s exceptional softness, we love knitting it into simple, wearable accessories like this one. The result is a cowl that’s warm, lightweight, and polished enough to wear all winter long.
To knit the Funnel Cowl, you’ll need:
- 2 skeins of Woolfolk Far
- US 7 (4.5 mm) and US 9 (5.5 mm) 16-inch circular needles
- Funnel Cowl pattern - free with your purchase of Far!
If you’d like help choosing a color, we’re always glad to guide you — Far’s palette is full of beautiful options.
