About
A thick and warm cowl for cold winter days.
This cowl is very easy to knit. It is great for a beginner or someone who wants to knit some mindless TV knit.
It consists of four sections, each with its own technique. Each section can be extended, repeated or completely removed. So if you run out of a color, just start a new section and do another longer.
The pattern contains a simple version or a more technical-demanding version.

Size
Following this pattern you will get a cowl measuring 32’’ (80 cm) in circumference.
The size can easily be changed for your personal preference. If you change anything make sure you still cast on a even amount of stitches.

Needle
Use one 16’’ (40cm) US 4 (4mm) circular needle.

Gauge
18 sts x 25 rows = 4’’x 4’’ (10x10 cm)

Yarn
Aran weight yarn or two fingering weight yarns held together.
Use your favorite soft yarn you will like to have wrapped around your neck.
