This is an easy and relaxing cowl that uses 100 grams each of two colors of worsted weight yarn.
Approximate Finished Dimensions:
33 ¾” circumference x 13 ½” long before blocking
42” circumference x 13 ½” long after blocking
Materials
200—yards each of two colors in worsted weight yarn. We used Malabrigo Rios (210yds/100G skein, 100% Pure Merino Superwash):
Color: 027 Bobby Blue (A), 083 Water Green (B)
- US Size 7 (4.5mm) 24” (60.96 cm) circular knitting needle
- 1 stitch marker
- a tapestry needle
Gauge
20 sts, 28 rows = 4” in st st on US Size 7 (4.5mm) knitting needle before blocking.
16 sts, 28 rows = 4” in st st on US Size 7 (4.5mm) knitting needle after blocking. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Designer Note: Since the cowl is worked in the round with stripes, there is a tendency for the beginning of the round to have a “jog.” A jog is when the stripes don’t line up at the beginning and end of the round. To prevent a “jog” from occurring, slip the first stitch of every other round purlwise, with yarn in back. In addition, there is no need to cut the non-working yarn. Simply carry it up loosely on the inside of the work. Twist it together with the working yarn at the beginning of the round on every other round.
