All knit, all the time.
A quick cowl that uses up the entire ball.

This cowl is worked in the round, using only knit stitches, by turning and working in the opposite direction. The turns are done just like the turns in German short rows. This will make what looks a little like a seam up the back, but I’d rather that than have to purl all those stitches. ;)

German Short Rows Part I - Purl to knit
German Short Rows Part II Knit to purl
Just remember that when you go around in the opposite direction and are about to knit the turning stitch from the previous row, knit both legs of that stitch together. If you knit them separately, you’ll increase 1 stitch.
