False Creek Cowl

This lined cowl with drawstrings is the perfect addition to your cold-weather wardrobe! The use of fluffy lace weight yarn as the lining traps heat to keep you cozy, while the subtle slip-stitch motif lets that special fingering weight yarn shine. This is the perfect pattern to go stash-diving for! Worked top-down, both sizes only use a skein each of fingering and lace weight yarns, and can be customized for length. *Sizes and Yardage* 1: 10.5in (26.7cm) wide by 11in (28cm) long, measured flat Fingering weight: approximately 270yds (247m) Lace weight: approximately 220yds (200m) 2: 12.5in (31.75cm) wide by 11.5in (29cm) long, measured flat Fingering weight: approximately 300yds (274m) Lace weight: approximately 230yds (210m) *Please note: modifying the pattern may result in more or less yarn usage than the pattern estimates* *Materials and Gauge* - 3.75mm circular needles (16in/40.5cm cord recommended) - Optional 3.75mm DPNs, for knitting the i-cord - Minimum of one (1) stitch marker, to mark the beginning of the round o I also like to attach a locking stitch marker around the opening for the drawstring, for easier identification later - One large safety pin, for inserting drawstring 21 stitches and 30 rows = 4in (10cm) on fingering weight worked in pattern and in the round, gently blocked
