Explorer Cowl

**Need Malabrigo Mecha?? Check out my online yarn shop and browse our large selection of yarn and tools:** [Three Birds Yarn Studio][1] I wrote this simple cowl pattern on my trip to Olympic National Park in Washington. We spent the dayexploring in early spring and I was so grateful to have a cozy neck warmer to help me stay toasty and dry. This is a simple stockinette design that is knit in the round. There are a few rows of 1x1 ribbing on the top and bottom just to keep the stockinette stitches from curling. This works up very quickly and I used less than one skein of Malabrigo Mecha. **Gauge** 16 sts and 24 rows make 4” (10cm) square in stockinette stitch. Worked in the round and unblocked **Materials** 120 yards (92g/110m) of Bulky weight yarn (I used Malabrigo Mecha, color: Glitter) US 9 (5.5mm) 16” (41m) circular needles 1 stitch marker Tapestry needle for weaving in ends **Skills/stitches Required** Knit Purl Knitting in the round on circular needles Binding off [1]: threebirdsyarnstudio.com
