I finally finished this cowl. This was my first cowl and I don’t know why I didn’t make these sooner. They have the advantage of keeping you warm like a scarf, but also has the advantage of not falling off or getting in the way.

The stitch pattern I used is from here (pdf). The whole thing is knit on size 10.5(US) needles. I basically just knit up a wide long rectangle, and then sewed the ends together when it was enough to wrap around my head.

The pattern takes a while because of the knit3tog splitting my yarn if I didn’t pay attention to it, but the wrong side is just knit, so that goes pretty quickly.
