With your yarn of choice and some fun sparkle thrown in, this adorable cowl knits up in a few hours and makes a great quick gift or fun accessory.

This pattern is written in four yarn weights.

Gauge is not critical for this project. This cowl uses around three quarters of a standard 100 gram skein of yarn. Instructions are provided for how to increase the length and height of your cowl.

Paillettes are optional, but highly recommended! If you choose to increase the length or height of your cowl, you may need more than 1 ball of the paillettes.
