Made with fingering weight yarn held double, this hand knitting pattern allows you to craft a comfortable and stylish cowl. Mix and match your colors to taste.

This pattern requires the ability to knit and purl in the round, carry yarn, and weave in ends.

I design my patterns to be challenging enough for beginners to help develop and expand their skillset without frustration, and engaging enough for experienced knitters to enjoy making it as well.

Moderate skill level is required to modify the fit: Add or subtract bands of color to lengthen or shorten as desired. One band of color equals approximately 1”, but check your gauge for accurate adjustments. To make the cowl wider, add 4-5 stitches per inch of increase, depending on your gauge.
