The Carolina cowl is a simple, one-piece knit, worked seamlessly in the round. This cowl features a Fisherman’s Rib pattern which adds an interesting texture to the finished object. This knit might suit a novice knitter keen to improve their muscle memory and tension.

This is also a small, portable project - great for taking along to your knit-groups. It’s also quite a fast knit, so handy for last-minute gifting.

This is a one size, gender neutral knit

I knitted this cowl in a jewel-like tone of Wine Red, but it would look equally good in a neutral shade.
