Skill Level: Intermediate to advanced knitters will enjoy this project, gaining valuable techniques along the way. Finished Dimensions: Once completed, your cowl will measure approximately 11 inches (28 cm) in width and about 32 inches (80 cm) in circumference, providing a cozy and stylish wrap for your neck. Suggested Yarn: This pattern is designed for fingering weight yarn in two colors, Color A and Color B, requiring 2.8 oz (80 g) or 320 yards (292 m) of each color. For my project, I chose Little Fox Yarn's Monos base, using one skein of Dress Blue (Color A) and one skein of Gossamer (Color B), creating a striking contrast that adds to the cowl's appeal. Needles: You will need two pairs of size US 3 (3.25 mm) needles, or the size requisite to achieve the specified gauge, plus a hook for the provisional cast on. Gauge: Ensure your project meets the gauge of 10 stitches and 16 rows = 2 inches in double knitting for the best results.
