Play with fun bubble stitches to knit this warm and cozy cowl. The cowl is knit in the round and then seamed together to create a thick plush tube. Choose between a hooded cowl that starts with little bubbles and increases into big bubbles or select the simple infinity cowl style. DK or worsted weight yarns create this fun-to-knit winter accessory.

Yarn: DK or worsted weight

Yardage: 1 skein of each color

The sample is a multi-color version. I used less than one skein of each color and most colors used leftover bits of yarn. If you have six full skeins of DK weight yarn, that should be plenty to knit both size variations of this cowl.
