My inspiration for this cowl was my grandma <3 I had knitted a scarf I posted previously that was more styled for a man to wear. She told me she was wearing it all the time so I decided to make her a cowl she could wear around the house.
This scarf is the perfect length - it can be wrapped twice close up around the neck. The best part is it only requires ONE SKEIN of yarn!!! Talk about cheap and easy to knit!! :)
I cast on 115 stitches. I have a small frame (only 5'1") so in the future, I will be casting on 101 stitches. However, it is still close to the neck how I would want it. For seed stitch, you can cast on any ODD number of stitches. So this can be adjusted to be made bigger or smaller, depending on your preference.
I used Deborah Norville Chunky serenity yarn in the color Pristine. This can be found at JoAnn Fabric. I swear by going there - they always have 40% off coupons and other specials so yarn is super cheap and they have a great selection!
I used size 11 needles on a circular cord (length doesn't really matter).
Cast on 115 stitches (or preferred length)
Knit in seed stitch pattern - row 1: k1, p1 and row 2: p1,k1
Bind off in pattern. I knit until I got to the end of the skein and it was perfect!!
The finished length is 24 inches as seen in the bottom picture and the width is 5 inches.
Hope you guys enjoy this!!! XOXO
