This is an easy pattern that knits up quickly using worsted weight yarn. Please note that it’s essential to use a stretchy cast-on and bind-off, especially for the smallest size.

The design for this cowl originated as a square that I created for the Violet Protest. More information can be found at violetprotest.com or in their Ravelry group. It’s an amazing project to remind us and our members of Congress that we share many core values that can/should transcend party politics.
