This is definitely not a hard pattern, I use this one to teach in my classes, and it works up quickly so you can enjoy it with just enough time left before winter finally decides to leave for good. (When is that anyway???)

You can make this cowl using one skein of this yarn, or part of a second if you want it a bit chunkier and a bit longer.

The solid colors in the Lion Brand yarn are longer yardage, so make sure you keep that in mind when making this! I recommend buying two of the prints or tweeds because you just might want it a row or two bigger than what those give you.
