The Cowl

Improv Cowl design by French Press Knits

You can find this pattern on the FPK website or on Ravelry.  Look for the free pattern called Improv Cowl.   I used Cozy Wool granite, a wool blend, because I don't like the scratchiness of wool around my neck.  This was easy to do, mostly because it was in the round, and only involved knowing how to knit and purl. I only used one strand of yarn, because the yarn is already very chunky.  I followed the rest of the pattern for CO stitches and needle size.  I'm making one for Maddie for when she goes to college next year.  Not sure how well it will hold up, since it's 50% acrylic, but it was quick so I can always make another.
