I designed this cowl to make use of The Artful Ewe Lotus YarnBabies (mini skeins) in 4 colors. This cowl is knit in the round. It uses provisional cast on and I-cord bind off to match edges and for decorative effect. While gauge is not crucial to the pattern stitch, it does matter to yardage which may be limited. (Note: some people say I am a loose knitter.)

The cowl is stretchy enough to wrap around my neck twice for a lovely and cozy neck warmer.

Perfect to use up yarn remnants and for gift giving. And there’s no purl.
