Macadam Cowl
Macadam Cowl is knit in a very simple but spectacular 2-coloured textured stitch pattern which uses only 1 colour per round. The cowl is worked in the round. Knit it as given in the pattern for a long loop which can be worn loose or wrapped twice around your neck, or cast on fewer stitches for a single loop, the pattern is very easy to modify.

Base gauge: 24 sts and 32 rounds = 10x10 cm/4”x4” in Stockinette Stitch knit in the round with the larger needle after blocking
