IMPORTANT NOTE: This pattern is available for free on my youtube channel But, if you want the printable PDF version you can find that here.

The Bamboo Cowl is an easy cowl pattern made for beginners. If you know how to cast on, knit and purl you can make this scarf. I have a link in the pattern to my full video tutorial (available for free on my youtube channel: The Blue Mouse Knits) that teaches you the steps for the stitch pattern, how to bind off, how to join in the round and how to weave in your ends. This cowl is so easy to make and I find the stitch pattern to be really fun to work with.
