Nom nom nom. If that’s the sound you’re making when petting the yarn you’ve picked out for this cowl, then you’ve chosen the right yarn. Sure, you could make it in good old workhorse peruvian wool if you want to, but with a requirement of less than 200 yards of yarn, this is the perfect opportunity to splurge a little.

Don’t need another hat? Yarn too fussy for mittens? Can’t afford enough for a scarf? What could you ever make with that little bit of yummy yarn?

Why, you can make a Nom Nom Nom Cowl, of course. Now you know.

Difficulty level: easy as delicious pie. Fine for a beginner. If you can knit in the round, or think you can learn how, you’re all set.
