This cowl is worked in the round, in simple stockinette stitch. The fit is a bit snug to keep you warm without dropping, the height is customisable but quite perfect as it is. It starts with a provisional cast on, a nice amount of relaxing stockinette and then the cowl is folded and seemed with a kitchener stitch. Just grab a skein of DK and a skein of lace and you are ready to go. It would be a fabulous stash busting project too, replacing DK by two strands of fingering weight and using various lace weight leftovers, it can be a blank canvas to use your beautiful scraps and ends of yarn.
