This little project is super quick and easy, and is the exact height and width to fit perfectly around the neck to keep you cosy, but without being too close or too loose.

It’s a great little stash buster too – it uses around 140m/153yds of DK weight yarn (70g of the yarn I used). I’d recommend you use a soft, fluffy and warm yarn with a nice drape, like the Pu’rrr I used, a beautiful New Zealand possum, cashmere and merino mix.

I’ve knitted it with a relaxed tension, which adds to the drapey quality of the cowl.

You need one 60cm long/24” 5mm (US8) circular needle and a stitch marker.
