It’s time for everyone’s favorite math holiday, Pi Day (sorry, Mole Day). This cowl is a quick knit, but it does require a bit of focus. The main section of the cowl is worked from a chart, which includes the first 37 digits of pi in addition to a pi and circle motif. The chart is longer than usual and has no repeats (just like pi), so it will print in two pages. Just tape them together, making sure to line up the numbered columns when you do. Your full chart will measure 134 columns by 44 rows.

Finished Measurements: 26” circumference,
9” height
Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn that meets

weights for a thicker or taller finished piece.
I used Malabrigo Rios (appx 200 yards)

Co Studio Worsted (appx 50 yards) for the
accent color.

cable
