Steven Fegert
Materials:
1 skein of fingering weight yarn
Size 4 US/3.5 mm 40″ needle
Abbreviations:
YO = Yarn Over
K2tog = Knit two together
tbl = through the back loop
Directions:
Using the long tail cast on, cast on 300 stitches. Join in the round, being careful not to twist.
Knit in garter stitch for 5 rounds (Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row, Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row, Knit 1 row)
Pattern Stitch:
YO, K2tog for a row
Knit 1 row plain
Repeat 2 pattern stitch rows until you are almost out of yarn or to the desired height of the cowl.
Knit in garter stitch for 5 rounds (Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row, Knit 1 row, Purl 1 row, Knit 1 row)
Finally, bind off loosely. I suggest k2tog tbl, place stitch on right hand needle back onto the left needle and repeat all the way across.
