A simple texture stitch that looks nice on both sides is used in this chunky double-wrapped cowl. It’s a quick and easy knit in yummy K2 from Miss Babs.

Skills required
Long-tail cast-on
Working in the round
Knitting and purling
Binding off

Materials
230 to 280 yards of chunky yarn
US 10/6mm circular needles - 32” length works well
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

About yardage
I used every scrap of my overweight skein of K2 - all 252 yards. Normally I add a 10% cushion to my yardage figures which is where the 280 yard amount comes from. If your skein is not overweight or your gauge isn’t spot on, you can drop a repeat of the stitch pattern and use about 15% less yarn - 210 yards without the 10% cushion. You can also stop after knitting a partial repeat, making sure you have enough yarn left to finish the edge and bind-off (probably about 12 yards).

Sample was knit in Miss Babs K2 in Thunderstorm.
