Okay, so here’s a cowl pattern that uses very little yarn, and sits close to the neck. You will need a set of size 7 straight needles and a set of size 7 double pointed needles to complete it, as well as a minimum of 82 yards of yarn (which happens to be the exact amount of one skein of the yarn I knit it with, but I highly recommend you have more since I had about 8 inches left over at the end) (for realzies). You can also use a contrasting yarn for the I-cord, if desired. Also, this pattern is easily customizable for your neck size. And… that’s about it.
