This one is already starting to loosen up, so it may be a good idea to cast on only 52 or 48 stitches to keep it nice and snug. If you want to make the cowl wider or tighter around the neck, remember to add or remove in multiples of 4 stitches to keep the pattern in order.
Switch back to edge color and do 6 rows of rib stitch, just like in the beginning. I used an entire skein of the main color. Repeat rows 1-4 until you've reached the desired "height" for the cowl.
Then switch to the main color and knit the following in the round: I used 2 different colors, one main color (burgundy) and another for the edge (brown/grey/purple-ish).ĬO 56 stitches with the edge color and knit the following in the round:Ħ rows of rib stitch for the edge: *K2, P2*. The project was easy- the bulky yarn and large needles make it quick, and I used the same waffle pattern as I did for the other cowl, so there wasn't so much new stuff to figure out.Ī circular 5mm pin, 60cm long and 1-2 skeins of Andes (or another Super Bulky yarn). The colors are perfect with all the khaki and chinos that have been in recently. I had found these beautiful colors in Drops Andes yarn, which is bulky and wonderfully soft.

I thought it was time to make a new one and this time I would make a short one and knit it full circle instead of knitting a scarf and sewing the ends together, like I did last time. The cowl I made last spring was very well received and has been used pretty much every day for almost a year now.
