This pattern came about as a last minute gift. It works up in about 8 hours. I used a 7.5 inch hook and 2 skeins of Berroco Comfort Chunky. You can use pretty much any chunky yarn. If you don’t have a 7.5 hook, an L will work but you may need more than 300 yards. The mobius twist means that this cowl works up in just 20 rows. And the broomstick lace detail around the edges adds a little flair, but also means you’ll need size 19 knitting needles.
