Looking for an easy knitting project to travel with, how about an infinity cowl in an easy to take care of yarn? Made for my wife who prefers black and gray, it is neutral enough that anyone can wear. It is just long enough to wrap around twice for added warmth or long enough to tuck inside your coat.

This pattern uses one skein each of three different colors but the pattern is easily modified as it is a simple tube joined at the ends. I recommend using the Kitchener stitch to make a seamless cowl, but you can use a three needle bind off, or sew the ends together if you prefer. Enjoy!
