Tiara the Unicorn wanted to find a reason to use her beglittered Addi Turbo Size US 50 / 25 mm knitting needles, so she took two super bulky yarns, held them together, started knitting, and 72 minutes later, she had a cowl!

Don’t worry too much about gauge or size or seaming - the goal is making a colorful, giant, squishy cowl in no time at all! To change the cowl’s height, cast on more or fewer stitches. To change the circumference, knit more or fewer rows.

Materials
YARN
Weight: Super Bulky (2 strands held together)
Amount: Approximately 174 yds / 160 m (87 y / 80 m per skein)

The cowl shown is knit up with a solid skein of Malabrigo Rasta (Black) and a Gradient skein of Freia Ombre Plush (Hard Candy) creating a gradient marled effect!

NEEDLES
US #50/25 mm needles (Cowl is knit flat and seemed so either straight or circular will work!)

NOTIONS
tapestry needle, rainbow unicorn scissors

Vital Stats
GAUGE
Approximately 1 stitch = 4”/10 cm in garter stitch Gauge is not crucial for this project and will vary due to the loose fabric.

SKILL LEVEL
Adventurous Beginner: Knitting two strands at once

CONSTRUCTION
This cowl is knit flat in garter stitch and then seemed together.

SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
Circumference: Approximately 30”/76 cm

Height: Approximately 15”/38 cm

Finished dimensions are highly variable due to the loose gauge and therefore super-stretchy fabric.
