Free Pattern Friday #2: The Big Squoosh Cowl

Ok, so I'm technically posting this on Saturday... let's blame it on jury duty! Blame ALL THE THINGS on jury duty, woo!

...ahem.

BIG SQUOOSH COWL

Materials:
220 yds of heavy worsted/ bulky yarn, totally up to you as to which you prefer. Obviously, the bulkier the yarn, the squishier the fabric
Size 10 18" circulars (16" will do in a pinch, but it'll be tight)
Crochet hook for weaving in ends

PATTERN:

Cast on 96 stitches. If you prefer a longer cowl, just make sure you cast on a multiple of 8 sts. Join in the round, being careful not to twist stitches.

SECTION 1:

K4, p4 for 8 rounds.

SECTION 2:

(K 1 round, purl 1 round) twice. This equals four rows of garter stitch in the round.

SECTION 3:

K2, p2 around for 4 rounds.

SECTION 4:

K around for 4 rows.

Repeat sections 3 and 4 as many times as you'd like, until total height of cowl is about 2-3 inches less than you'd like, ending on a section 3.

Repeat section 2 once.

Repeat section 1 once.

BO in pattern.

Weave in ends, block if desired, and enjoy!

You can find me on YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, and my recycled yarn store is on Etsy.  (You can still find some of the yarn I used for this cowl there!) Feel free to ask to questions or just stop by to say hello- happy knitting!
