Brittany Cowl

The Brittany Cowl is your go-to accessory to add a touch of color and texture over a plain top or jacket.  It’s an easy knit in-the-round pattern with no seaming that you’ll enjoy wearing year-round.

Finished size: 5 1/4” x 36”

 

Supplies Needed

Cast on 168 stitches using the long-tail method, or your favorite cast on technique.  For a long-tail cast on, pull out about 5 yards of yarn and make a slip knot to begin.  After casting on, join stitches for in-the-round knitting, being careful not to twist stitches.
