Low-key Cowl

Low-Key Cowl is a 1 skein worsted-weight neckwarmer featuring a split hem and garter ridges, inspired by the construction of my [Low-key vest][1]. If you have never worked a split hem before, this is a great opportunity to try it out! Plus I have a [new video tutorial][2] that shows you how to work the joining row (which creates the split hem), so if you've never worked this technique before, don't worry - I walk you through the whole process! This cowl uses just 1 skein of worsted-weight yarn, shown in the beautiful Malabrigo Rios. It’s also a great project to use up stash yarn – you can use multiple colors and just have fun! This pattern is a great beginner-friendly design where you just work simple stitches, but at the same time you create this cool split hem effect that gives it a fun, modern twist. **PATTERN INFORMATION:** **Gauge:** 18 sts & 28 rnds = 4”/10 cm in St st in the round after blocking* *Note: Exact gauge is not critical but it will affect your finished measurement and yarn usage. **Yarn:** Approx 200 yds of worsted weight yarn, shown in Rios by Malabrigo (100% Superwash Merino; 100g = 210 yds), 1 skein, shown in Frank Ochre. **Needles & Other Supplies:** • US 8/5 mm 24”/60 cm circ, or size needed to obtain gauge. • US 7/4.5 mm 24”/60 cm circ, or 1 needle size smaller than that used to get gauge. • Stitch markers. • Tapestry needle to weave in ends.
