If you are looking for a cute single skein stash buster cowl, look no further. This design has an easy-to-memorize repeat with a nice and stretchy 2 by 2 ribbing on the top and bottom. The cowl is worked from the top down and in the round making it easy to cast on and go. The cowl comes in two sizes, so you can choose a tighter or more relaxed fit. If using a weigh-as-you-go approach, this design is also very easy to customize.

A huge shout out to Michelle from Kettle + Hearth Fibers for supplying the yarn for both samples and the inspiration for the design. I wouldn’t have published the design without her encouragement. Check out my affiliate link (at no cost to you) to see her beautiful hand-dyed yarn: link text
