Little Creek Cowl

**About this Pattern** A quick, easy cowl that is narrow and sits close to the neck for maximum warmth. It’s not bulky and is perfect for wearing under hoodies, coats or jackets. I’ve used a simple, but fun, drop-stitch motif that is repeated in the round to create a reversible fabric. **Skills Needed** You need to be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl and knit in the round. **Sizing** There is one adult size, but this can be customised by increasing/decreasing CO stitches by 8 and increasing/decreasing the length of the buff. My buff measures 11” in length and has a circumference of 19” (after blocking). **Gauge** 20 stitches over 40 rows (in ribbing) = 4” IMPORTANT: I am a very tight knitter, so if you just knit this without checking gauge, you are likely to get a larger finished object than me and require more yarn! My advice is to knit a quick gauge swatch to ensure the correct fit. **Yarn** 8ply/DK or 4ply/Fingering weight yarn held double. I used 1 Skein of Great Southern Yarn DK (50% Merino/ 50% Alpaca) in the Rosalie Gascoigne colour. I used approx 70g of wool for this. **Needles** 4mm 16” Circulars. I used the small, 4” length needles so that I could knit in the round comfortably. As mentioned above, I am a tight knitter, so you may need to use a smaller sized needle to achieve the same fit/gauge. **Support and Feedback** I’ve tried very hard to ensure this pattern is error-free, but I welcome any feedback if something doesn’t look right or doesn’t make sense!
