March in Alaska marks the beginning of the Iditarod…the Last Great Race! Mushing teams plan years in advance for this amazing race, and the whole state rallies in excitement to see who will finish first!

Join in the spirit of the Iditarod, and knit this reversible, stranded cowl for yourself or your favorite musher. Show your loyalty by stitching your team’s number on the musher’s bib, and colored dog collars! This cozy neck warmer is sure to keep you toasty as you walk your little sled team, or cheer on the celebrities.

The pattern begins with a provisional cast on, knit from the bottom up, in the round. It folds over at the top, and is finished with a Kitchener Stitch BO for a seamless finish. Instructions are given for all techniques with a full, colored chart.
