Lozenge Cowl

This cowl knits up quickly and is easily modified to your own preference on sizing. Use two variegated yarns for maximum texture or use one variegated and one solid for a less busy look. Finished size: 11” tall. 26” diameter at the bottom and 20” at the top. You can adjust this to make any size cowl you want. I happen to like cowls that sit close to my neck. To make larger circumference, add additional stitches in quantities of 10. Yarn: Two 200-yard skeins of sport weight yarn in coordinating or contrasting colors. Sample is knit in Spincycle Dyed in the Wool colorways Pick Your Poison (MC -- blue) and Salty Dog (CC -- yellow). Finished sample had some extra of both yarns so sizing up should not require any more skeins. Gauge: 5.4 stitches to the inch on #5 needles. 16-inch or 20-inch circular needle required. Gauge is only critical when determining your sizing. Adjust needle sizes to get the fabric look you prefer.
