FO: Cowl aka neckwarmer that is not a headband

I made so many cowls for Christmas that I was really bad about noting down any details. Okay..basically, my fingers were too busy to pick up a pen and my basement is still a jumbled disaster of craft supplies, yarn labels and piles of gifts slated for re-gifting. (Seriously? A snowman night light? Why would anybody pay for this?)

This particular one is a simple ribbed neckwarmer I made for R. I also made about three other ones this year. The pattern is easily adaptable to any yarn or needle size.



I used Mission Falls - Superwash Merino Wool. Love this stuff! Super soft and squishy and not itchy at all!

Needle Size: US 8 - 16" circs
Cast on about 88 sts
K2 P2 until you run out of yarn or you feel the tube is long enough.
Bind off in pattern.



These are good to have around in your emergency gifting pile. So far, the cowl is doing it's job nicely and keep R's neck warm. As a far as I know, my dad is still wearing his over his ears :: here ::
