Boxes of Love Cowl Knitting Pattern

There is something magical about combining structure and whimsy in a knitting project, and the Boxes of Love Cowl does just that. The rhythmic pattern of tidy boxes, each cradling a tiny heart, is a celebration of how love often hides in the small, structured moments of our lives. They are the little things we all do everyday for our loved ones as the foundation of our love for them.

The Boxes of Love Cowl is a stranded colourwork project that balances simplicity and sophistication. The repeating grid of boxes creates a modern aesthetic, while the hidden hearts nestled inside add a playful and comforting twist. Worked in the round, this cowl is perfect for beginner knitters looking to practice colourwork tension!
