The Cinque Terre cowl is knit in the round and uses one skein of sock yarn, perfect for that single skein you can’t decide how to use. You can wear your cowl as a single looped long scarf, double looped as a casual mid-chest cowl or triple looped for a snugly neck warmer. Finished dimensions are 7 inches high and 60 inches circumference.

The stitch pattern is provided in a chart, as well as written out, and consists passing slipped stitches over knit stitches.

Percentages of yarn used are also provided if you wish to modify the size of your cowl.
