This chunky knit will keep you warn on a bitter cold day, while giving you a burst of color to remind you that spring will come!

Fasten off, seam ends together, and weave in any remaining tails.
So cute!! Will try this soon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHow many stitches do you cast on?
ReplyDeleteI cast on 16 sts, but you could do more or less if you would like.
ReplyDeletePretty cowl! Thanks for the instructions. May I know what does "Bo" in the last 2nd step mean?
ReplyDeleteBo means bind off. Essentially, you will bo in k1, p1, but above I have written how it's done, since there are the yos from the previous row.
DeleteThank you very much for explaining!
DeleteThanks for a quick and easy pattern.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
DeleteHow many stitches should I have at the end of row 2?
ReplyDeleteYou should have 24 sts with the yos added.
DeleteWhat does Yo mean?
ReplyDeleteYo means yarn over.
DeleteI love the look of this cowl! I would like to make it thicker but I'm not sure what increment I should use(groups of 2 4 or 6 stitches) to keep the pattern correct. thanks!
ReplyDeleteIncrease or decrease by a multiple of two to change the width.
DeleteHi what weight is the yarn to be used? Bulky 6? Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis is a bulky weight yarn.
DeleteI did this in a chunky, but it didn't look quite right, so I checked on the yarn weight and according to ravelry it is a #6 super Bulky, so I've made it again and it came out much better.
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteDoes this loop once or twice around?
ReplyDeleteI looped this twice.
