GENERAL INFORMATION
This snug and stylish cowl is the ideal project for making the most of a single skein of worsted-weight yarn. Its compact design not only adds a touch of versatility but also serves as the perfect accessory for layering on those crisp, chilly days. Featuring a simple yet captivating stitch pattern, this project produces a unique textured fabric that enhances visual appeal without adding complexity to the knitting process.

You’ll start by working the piece flat, making it easy to establish the texture. Once you’ve achieved the desired width, you’ll seamlessly join the edges to continue in the round. To top it off, the cowl is finished with a beautifully executed 2-stitch i-cord edging, giving it a clean, polished finish. It’s a quick, gratifying project that’s well-suited for knitters with some experience, as it offers just the right balance of ease and challenge to keep things interesting!
