Busu is a quick little cowl worked in the round. Trimmed on top and bottom with a bit of lace the point in front is created by the use of short rows.

This cowl requires knowledge of very basic lace skills, working in the round and short rows. It is suitable for an adventurous beginner knitter looking to add some skills to their knitting repertoire or for any knitter wanting to knit a fun quick project.

This cowl uses just 50 grams of DK weight yarn for the main colour and 10 grams for the contrast - it would look equally lovely in one colour or a handspun yarn.
