The String of Beads Cowl is a simple stranded colorwork cowl that is a great learning project!

The finished size after blocking is 10.5in tall and 25in around

It is knit in the round on size US 8 24” circular needles.

Uses 80-90g of worsted weight yarn for the main color and 50g of worsted weight for the contrast color.

Note: I designed this pattern to have very little leftover yarn, so if your gauge is a little looser, you may find you need to end the body of the cowl earlier than indicated in the pattern. To make sure you will have enough to bind off, I would suggest weighing your main color yarn before you cast on, and again after the ribbing section is complete so you know how much yarn you will need for the end ribbing and bind off.
