Instructions

So let’s make this cuddle-tastic cowl! First, then, using your size 15 needles, cast on 18 stitches provisionally. Then, transfer work to your size 13 needles and we’ll move straight into our pattern, as follows:

Row 1 (wrong side): purl
Row 2: knit
Row 3: k2, (p2, k2) 4 times
Row 4: p2, (k2, p2) 4 times
Row 5: k2, (p2, k2) 4 times
Row 6: knit

Knit rows 1 – 6 until piece measures roughly 45”, or desired length, and you’ve just finished row 5 of the pattern. Leave live stitches on one of your size 13 needles and transfer provisional stitches back to the other. Holding wrong sides together, graft ends together using the Kitchener stitch. Tuck in ends and block.

Oh, I really like everything about this cowl the color, the stitch, the length in particular. In general I don't like anything too close and bulky around my neck, and because this is a really long cowl it's more like a scarf. It lets me trendy and comfy at the same time.

This is a classic and for good reason. Interesting enough yet simple enough for even a beginner. Working with thicker yarn and a size 13 needle it should work up fast. Even though it is a thicker yarn, if doesn't give the impression the model is wearing a blanket around her neck.

Love the look of this cowl - although I have to say I have yet to find any cowl restricting... I love them all.
