Extra Extra Cowl

Extra Extra Cowl is knit in the round from the top-down, in four easy stitch patterns: decorative rib, eyelet increase, chevron, and garter stitch. This is a quick knit in Aran weight yarn. The completed cowl will keep both your neck and upper chest warm and fits easily under a jacket. The eyelets are optional and can be left out for those wanting a warmer cowl. Pattern is both written and charted.
