Use a couple of different shawl-knitting techniques and shapes to knit this triangle cowl in worsted-weight yarn!

This simple triangle has a great texture—I am pretty smitten with these almost waffle-stitch motifs—and the garter border adds stability. You’ll need one standard skein (~200yds) of worsted weight yarn and 6 buttons for finishing.

Materials:

• 168-180 yards of worsted wool yarn (shown in Malabrigo Yarns Worsted in Olive)
• 1 24” circular needle in US5-7/3.75-4.5mm, or size needed for gauge.
• Tapestry needle removable stitch markers
• Six buttons, in wood or other lightweight material, 11/16”/18mm, or sized to suit yarn
• optional: needle and thread if buttons are not suited to yarn and tapestry needle

Gauge:
Gauge is 18 sts and 25 rows over 4”/10cm of lightly blocked main pattern as written.
Please be sure to check your gauge.

Measurements:
One size fits most! This triangle measures 33”/83cm along the longest side, and 12”/30cm deep measured from the longest side through the marked stitch point.
