Garter Stitch goodness abounds in this tube style cowl! The Lizzie cowl begins with a provisional cast on and is then worked in the round as one piece. After undoing the provisional cast on the two ends are joined by grafting both sets of live stitches. The length of this cowl is easily adjusted by working more or less repeats of the lace pattern or plain garter stitch section. A video link is provided on how to work garter stitch in the round to avoid purling!
