One of my alltime favorite patterns is the cowl, which is technically just a knitted tube. But, when I slip it over my head it becomes a softly draping beautiful necklace that I want to wear every day from December til March.

to twist your stitches as you begin knitting! As you prepare to

knit the first stitch, take a second to look at all of the stitches to make sure they are all heading in the same direction. not spiralling around the needle.

Work in K1, P1 Rib Stitch pattern until cowl measures about 13 inches, or desired length. Bind off very loosely and weave in tails.
