So here is my first cowl! I've been wanting to knit one ever since I started knitting, I was too afraid to learn how to knit in the round. But now that I tried, I'll never go back for sure. It was simple and easy. For this pattern I used an Exquisite Chunky wool blend that I found at Tuesday Morning. It's a 57% merino wool, 33% acrylic microfibre, and 10% cashmere blend. It's incredibly soft and stretchy enough to be worn in quite a few different ways. The photos are horrible (taken from my iphone...bleh) but I'll get some better ones up tomorrow.
Just to let you know this was a chunky wool blend, (10.5 knitting needle, 14 sts and 22 rows = 10x10cm), cast on 120 stitches on a 29" long size 17 circular needle knit every round for 10 rounds. (Use a marker). 11th row knit 3 and knit two together (k3, k2tog) and repeat until the end, knit rows 12-22. Row 23 knit 4, knit 2 together (k4, k2tog) repeat until end. Knit until length is where you want it (place over head and see how far it goes over head, over shoulders, etc. Bind off, weave in ends.
