Materials:
- US 13 (9 mm) straight knitting needles
- 3 cakes of Lion Brand Mandala Thick & Quick, each cake is 87 yards (I used the “Thumbprint” colorway)
- Tapestry Needle
- Scissors
- Tape Measure
Sizing:
- Unseamed rectangle is 32 inches long and 14 inches wide
- 22 inch circumference neck opening
Instructions:
CO 32 stitches.
Row 1: Knit all stitches.
Row 2: Purl all stitches.
Row 3: K1, *(yo, k2tog) across until 1 stitch remains, then K1.
Row 4: Knit all stitches.
Repeat rows 1-4, until piece is about 32 inches long (or desired length) from co edge, ending on row 2.
Finishing: Seam together using the whip stitch as shown in the photo diagram above. Weave in any ends that remain and you’re finished!
Notes: This pattern is a simple 4-row lace-and-stockinette repeat — adjust length to make a snug or slouchy cowl. When seaming, align the short edges carefully so the pattern matches; a loose whip stitch will preserve the stretch of the knitted fabric.
