Another knitting project completed! I purchases some beautiful sock yarn from the local yarn store (LYS) and since I haven’t worked up the courage to try a pair of socks, I decided to use it to make a lightweight cowl/neck warmer for the Spring. I love the cowl/neck warmer idea, sometimes a scarf is too bulky or gets bunchy under a coat. This solves that problem while still keeping you neck covered. Plus using this lighter weight yarn, I feel that it could transition inside as well as out. I found the pattern in the book Last-Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson. This was such an easy-peasy project -It’s basically just a knitted tube- something that I worked on in the evenings while watching TV or when we were in the car driving down to see my parents. Done on circular needles, it is just knit, knit, knit until you get the desired length, then bind off and you’re done. I will definitely use this pattern again. I can’t wait to try it with some snuggly yarn for fall/winter!
Beautiful! How many stitches did you have to cast on? Most neck warmers are between 126-156 ish.
Kendra- Thank you! Sorry it took me this long to respond, I had to dig out my book to look up the pattern notes. The cast on count was 130 stitches. Happy Knitting!
Yay! Thank you. 🙂
