PATTERN details

I had a couple of skeins with a little bit of a longer color run, so I wanted to show case the color run, which was the inspiration for this project. This cowl has triangle short rows to show off the color run.

This versatile design can be easily changed between a cowl or a scarf. The design can be expanded or shrunk to fit your stash or desire for width. The best type of yarn for this project is a medium length of color run, using two different colors, or mini skeins. It is an easy project, straight garter with short rows.

Skill level: Beginner. The only thing challenging on this is short rows and seaming. If short rows are scary for you, this project is a great one to get over the fear of short rows.
Dimensions of shawl: The main construction is a mobius cowl. Width inches 10 inches / 25 cm, length 20 ½ inches / 52 cm
Materials:
• Needles: US 7 / 4.5 mm
• Yarn: 2 Skeins of Cottonation by Plymouth Yarn, color 776. Each skein has 100 grams, with approximately 261 yards / 239 meters, I had about 2 yards left over. Substitute with aran weight or like weight yarn. Differing weight yarn can change the yardage needed to complete the project and finish the finished size.
• Yarn needle
• 2 stitch markers
Swatch: 4 inches/10 cm in stockinette not blocked 26 stitches/ 21 garter bumps. Exact gauge not critical, but can affect size of garment and yardage needed to complete garment.
Definitions:
• CO – Cast on
• K - Knit
• KEOR – Knit to end of Row
• PM – Place Marker
• SM – Slip Marker
• W&T – After last stitch, move one stitch to the right-hand needle, wrap the yarn around the stitch from back to the front. Slip the stitch back to the left needle and turn the piece around to begin working in the other direction. Note: To prevent unwanted holes in the piece, when passing the stitch on the next row, pass the right needle upward through the wrapped stitch, then knit together with the stitch it was wrapped around.
