Pipette is a simple, elegant cowl for the beginner knitter in mind. It is written for two sizes and four yarn weights, but you can use whatever yarn or needles you want.

We recommend solid, tonal, or tweed yarn for this project. Wool, Alpaca, animal fiber blends, bamboo, or silk blends will all work well and drape beautifully. This is a great project for when you want your yarn to do the talking!

Gauge is not required for this project, but is provided to help you estimate the yardage needed and project size. Gauge is measured in stockinette stitch, knit in the round, blocked.

For 25” cowl, use a 16” cable.
For 60” cowl, use a 32” cable.
