Difficulty Level: Intermediate (This pattern features a bamboo stitch technique and requires working in the round on circular needles, making it a fun challenge for knitters looking to expand their skills.)

Yarn: For this project, you'll need Steinbach Eroica yarn, which consists of 55% nylon and 45% wool. Each ball provides 114m (50g) or 125yds (1.76oz) of luxurious fiber. The sample used for this pattern required 2 balls and measures 148m (162yds), ensuring you have plenty of material for a cozy finish.

Needles: Use 4mm/US 6 circular needles. Choose a length that feels comfortable for you to work with, as this will make the knitting experience enjoyable and efficient.

Notions: Gather a yarn needle to weave in the ends and a stitch marker to help keep track of your rows and stitches as you knit your cowl.
