This airy, open cowl is worked in twisted drop stitch, which results in a stretchy mesh fabric. The texture and bounce of the stitches are ideal for a planned-pooling project, as the rainbow sample shows. Best of all, it works up super-fast with only one skein of worsted weight yarn--perfect for gifts.

Materials:

• 24 inch (60 cm) circular needle, size US 9 (5.5 mm)
• stitch marker
• darning needle

Gauge is not critical, and other yarns could easily be substituted. Just change stitch count and needle size as needed.
