A simple cowl worked in the round, with a single twist.

Notes:

Gauge is not important, though the first round must fit over the wearer’s head.

This pattern is easily adaptable from a fitted cowl to a much longer infinity scarf, or something in between. For a looser garment, use a larger hook or increase the number of stitches.

It is worked as a mobius, with the end of each round connected to the beginning before turning to work the following round. You may wish to place a removable stitch marker at the beginning of each round to easily find it.

The yarns listed are suggestions.
