One of my favorite places in the winter is in front of a roaring fire, knitting or a good book in hand. When I can’t be there, I need something to help keep the chill away – enter the cowl. Cowls are the perfect go-to accessory and make great, quick knit gifts. Dropped stitches provide the added bonus of fast progress on projects!

Needles: US 10 (6 mm), 24” circular needles

A few knitters, due to gauge and knitting style, have reported the need for additional yardage to complete this pattern. Please bear this in mind, and I hope you enjoy this project!
