My first Roadrunner Cowl has become one of my favourite cowls to wear. So much so that I knew I needed one for warmer days so I knit these in cotton DK and am excited for Spring to arrive so that I can wear them.

Also available as a kit: YARNSEA

Roadrunner DK is a quick and simple bandana style cowl that will show off any colour you choose and is suitable for all skill levels including experienced beginners.

The cowl is knit flat in a modified rectangular shape and then seamed together to join it into a circular neck opening. The decorative points are part of each row as you knit. So simple!

Finished Measurements: After gentle blocking: neck opening is 56cm/22”. From midpoint of long side to
tip is 35.5cm/14”. Back of neck seam is 6.5cm/21/2”.
(Measurements are approximate).
Gauge: Before blocking: 23 stitches x 29 rows = 10cm/4” in stocking stitch. Gauge is not critical but can affect
finished size and yardage.
