Designer’s Notes…

Big cowls are my favorite winter accessory because they’re so versatile. When it’s really cold, I wrap twice for an extra barrier against that raw winter wind. But then when I’m warm, I can unwrap it once and it just keeps the chill away.

This cowl is so fast and easy to knit, it will probably be added to your go-to list for quick gift knitting. It’s also great for beginners. And knit up in pretty much any single-ply super-bulky yarn, it’s amazingly soft and squishy. Not to mention that it’s reversible! Oh, and since it uses two skeins, the sky is the limit as far as the look you can get. Use contrasting colors to make a statement, or go with tone-on-tone or even just a single color if you’re wanting something more tame.
