You will use 2 colors of Noro Silk Garden for this cowl - I used color numbers #269 and #359, one skein of each color. Try and pick 2 colors that are similar but different enough so you can tell them apart or choose 2 totally different colors that blend well!

Size US 10 20”-circular needles were used for this project and the finished cowl will be about 24” around. If you’d like a longer cowl just cast on an additional 12 stitches for every 2 extra inches you would like! Note that you may need a longer circular needle if you add a lot of extra stitches. Silk Garden relaxes some after it is washed so you might consider knitting these a little on the snug side to accommodate for that.
