Knit this beautiful, cozy cowl with an easy, free pattern that’s perfect for beginners! Made with just one skein of worsted weight yarn, this simple project is great for new knitters or anyone looking to make a quick gift. Worked in the round, this cowl features 2×2 ribbing on the edges and stockinette stitch in between. No increases or decreases are needed! You’ll only need to know how to knit in the round, knit and purl stitches, and basic cast-on and bind-off techniques. While the stockinette stitch is simple, the yarn adds all the charm – so choose a special yarn you love! Want a longer cowl? Just cast on more stitches and use an extra skein to create one that wraps around your neck twice. The finished cowl measures 10.5″ wide and 10″ tall after blocking.
