This is a colorwork pattern, worked in the round to create a long tube, which is then twisted and joined together to form the cowl. The double thickness creates a lovely insulating fabric. This cowl can be altered in length by doing more of less rows and can also be changed in width by increasing or decreasing pattern repeats (12 stitches, approximately 4.5 cm per pattern repeat). The pattern calls for a 40cm, 4.5mm circular needle, stitch markers, tapestry needle and scissors. This pattern used a little less than 200g of yarn. Happy Knitting
