I made this cowl, but I used the wrong kind of yarn (oops - beginner mistake!), so it turned out very different from the picture. I'll have to get the right yarn and try again. And meanwhile, I got a unique scarf from my first try!

As I am a beginning knitter, I have crocheted for years, I have been looking for an easy pattern to start with. I do have a question though, you say K2, P2 and repeat on the rest of the rows, so when I turn do I reverse the stitches? You know P2, K2?

No, you simply repeat the row indicated in the pattern, there are an even amount of stitches so the k2 p2 will work out on each row, it will give the scarf a ribbed look. Hope this helps, happy knitting!

Well named - this cowl when finished is out of this world - looks great with a jacket and jeans or a sweater and jeans or with dress pants and sweater or blazer or with stylish coat and hat it looks out of this world. directions are simple and straightforward and no charts (I so dislike following charts lol)
