Enjoy a freebie and work from your stash!

Comfort cowl

We all need a little comfort now. This is an easy knit too. Of course the yarns do play a big role, this version is knitted top down from a Yarnz2go kit. You can knit it from your stash yarn too.
Worked in the round with simple eyelet increases and a bottom edge worked with contrasting colors held together in a stretchy bind off.

The pattern is written and is a great project for knitters of all skill levels and a fabulous way to use up some of your stash yarn!

One size fits most though can be made larger with an extra increase round or adding a larger needle size. See the OPTIONAL section following Part 3 for guidance. Of course more yarn will be needed.

Measurements of small size shown unblocked: Length 14.5”, neck circumference 24”, bottom edge circumference 45”.
