Estonian Flower Cowl

This cowl, using a beautiful Estonian pattern, knits up really fast in the gorgeous Merino Worsted by Malabrigo. It is a pleasure to knit and a pleasure to wear, and the stitch pattern is much easier to work than it looks! Charted and written instructions for a short as well as a long cowl are included.

Materials:

Malabrigo Yarn Merino Worsted (100 g [3.53 oz], 192 m [210 yd], 100 % merino), 1 (2) hanks #21, Cactus Flower, or approx. 110 m [120 yd] (195 m [215 yd] worsted weight yarn of your choice

(Designer's note: The yardage given includes 10 % extra from what I used. As I knit very loosely, my testers normally use less yarn than I do. One hank my be enough for the long cowl. If you don't want to buy two hanks, consider using a contrast color for casting on and binding off.)

4.5 mm [US 7] circular needle

(***Designer's note: ***I'm a loose knitter, so you may want to try bigger needles if you aren't.)
