Begins With A Square
This cowl combines knitting and crochet for a cozy oversized cowl, perfect for indoor or outdoor wear! With the granny squares, you can feature your favorite yarns or just bust your stash, and the broken rib works up quickly to finish this piece just in time for gifting season - or just in time for the first frost, either way.
This cowl is written in one size, but gauge is not crucial; the size can be adjusted by making the granny squares larger (or smaller), and picking up more (or fewer) stitches for the body of the cowl.
The yarn amount is estimated by weight, as your yardage may vary. If you choose to use a bulky yarn for the knit portion, you may also find that your yardage is different. I used just over a skein and a half, yardage-wise, in Knit Picks Heatherly Worsted.
