YARN REQUIREMENTS - Worsted Weight:

For Size A, you'll need approximately 355 yards (325 meters) of worsted weight yarn, while Size B requires around 285 yards (261 meters).

For the sample, I used I Love This Yarn, which is a premium 100% acrylic yarn. With 355 yards (325 meters) and a weight of 7 oz (200 grams), I chose the lovely colorway ‘Orchid’.

NEEDLES:

You'll need US size 8 (5.0 mm) circular needles, either 16 inches or 24 inches in length (40 cm or 60 cm) to create this stunning cowl.

GAUGE:

This pattern is worked in the round.

The gauge is 18 stitches over 24 rounds equals 4 inches (10 cm). To ensure the perfect fit, please check your gauge before starting!

HOW TO WORK THE BAMBOO STITCH:

Please note: This pattern is designed to be worked in the round.

Begin by casting on a multiple of 2 stitches.

Round 1: *Yarn over (YO), knit 2 (K2), then pass the YO over the 2 knit stitches; repeat from * around the entire round.
