Designer’s Note: Be sure to measure this piece as you're knitting it so that it will fit comfortably around your own neck. It was made with one skein of Fabulous Feline yarns and can be easily shortened or lengthened based on your own gauge and neck size. Just adjust the number of rows to suit your preferences (always begin and end with Rows 1-4), but remember that if you’re making the cowl longer or wider, then you may need two skeins of yarn.
Materials 1 skein Fabulous Felines yarn (photo shows the color Fidgesaurus Rex) 11” Straight Needles size 9 U.S. Chibi darning needle
Gauge (4" swatch) 14 stitches and 26 rows
Directions Cast on 30 stitches *Row 1 – Knit row
Row 3 -- Purl row Row 4 -- Knit row* Rows 1-4 are the basic pattern for this cowl, so now repeat these rows 27 times for a total of 112 rows. Row 113 -- Knit row Row 114 -- Purl row Row 115 -- Purl row At this point the piece should measure 13 1/2" or just wide enough to fit comfortably around your neck. You will want to measure to ensure you have enough yarn for the next 13 rows. This project should be completed using one skein of the yarn. Row 116 -- Knit row, binding off the first 16 stitches -- 14 stitches remaining.

This very versatile cowl can be worn a number of ways to suit the weather and your mood. Worn with the narrow band at the front it frames the face and warms the ears. Turn it around with the narrow band at the back and it's a big warm, neck-cuddling cowl that will keep out the coldest winter winds. Or fold it down to create a chunky, chill-chasing collar.
Row 2 – Purl row
